Sougwen 愫君 Chung is a Chinese-born, Canadian-raised artist and (re)searcher based in New York.

她是麻省理工学院媒体实验室(MIT Media Lab)的前研究员,跨学科艺术家,人机协作领域的先驱。2019年,她因在艺术与科学领域的贡献获得“蒙特卡洛女性奖”的最高奖项“2019年度女性奖”。她的创作涵盖装置、雕塑、绘画和行为艺术,探索分别由人手和机器创作的痕迹图画。她用自己的画作训练人工智能,把学习到自己风格的AI转移到机械臂上,与她同台作画。所以她的作品就像是双人画作,将艺术家的风格和人工智能的风格自然地结合在一起。代表作品:《绘图操作单元》(Drawing Operations Unit)。

“我们正在创造未来的新型混合感知,这是我们从未经历过的。”
