Lu Pingyuan views artificial intelligence as a new “belief system”, constantly posing questions to it, as a “god”, in search of ideal answers about faith. He shares with AI the stories he writes as well as traditional mythological tales, prompting AI to generate mythological figures anew. Lu employs traditional Chinese papercutting techniques used for summoning deities and crafts these figures out of paper. He sees his role of a creator as an “intermediary” receiving messages from “deities”, bridging the ancient mythological world with the unknown realm of gods as described by AI. The artist thus links humanity’s beliefs from the past with those from the future.
