In gazing at our feet, we behold Earth and the boundless cosmos.




Over-Scaled:Astronomical Diagram
超像素:天文图示



“当我们看着自己的脚下,同时望向的是地球与整个宇宙。”

当这些像素点被无限放大,让观者直面它们的粗糙本质时,"过度解析"的影像孕育出一种质朴平滑的视觉体验。放大并没有带来影像"真实再现"的期待,反而令其分解为我们能够观测的基础单位——像素颗粒。“超像素”是基于传统 像素增强 这一行为下,使用人工智能算法对其图像增强的极限进行探索,进而展示出数字影像“原初”与“终焉”的面貌。

通过人为干预的超像素方式,这些无限放大的失真像素被输入人工智能算法进行超分辨率重建。由此产生的,是一片基于“人类共识”(算法数据库)所构筑的”虚妄之境”(生成图像)。它们宛如一扇扇透镜般的窗口,让我们的视线触及到那如同“一沙一世界”具象存在的微观境界。纷繁缭乱、错综复杂的结构所汇聚成的想象之域。

正如金刚经所提:「一切有为法,如梦幻泡影」

数字影像亦是如此,它由无数像素点汇聚而成,却能用图像复现出人类世界。但其基础根本——粗糙而平静的像素,自始至终透露着一种"万物皆空,空亦为有"的存在状态。

在“超像素”的过程中,单纯的像素组进行了变换与扩增,每一组被”解码”的像素点,各自作为“窗口”映射出一个独立的微缩世界切片,像素间的“因缘和合”以一种图像的方式通过算法重新生成,原本失真分离的点块被赋予新的相貌。如同这无常虚空的宇宙,消亡与诞生并存,不垢不净,不增不减。

“面对大海,无助的我们凭借对真理的一味追求,欲望驱动我们扬帆起航,愚钝而英勇地前往未知。”



"When we gaze at our feet, we are simultaneously beholding the Earth and the entire cosmos."

In "Over-Scaled", pixels pushed beyond their resolution limits confront viewers with their granular essence. The paradox unfolds: "over-interpretation" of these infinitely magnified fragments generates an unexpected visual purity. What begins as a pursuit of "authentic representation" collapses into its elemental units - pixel particulates laid bare. This project interrogates the terminal thresholds of AI-driven super-resolution, using algorithmic enhancement to simultaneously expose digital imagery's embryonic purity and entropic demise.

These distorted pixel-scapes - artificially over-scaled beyond recognition - become raw material for AI reconstruction. The output manifests as "consensus hallucinations" : synthetic vistas forged from humanity's visual memory (training datasets). Each acts as a quantum lens, materializing the poetic notion of "infinite worlds within a pixel's bounds" through fractalized microcosms. These hallucinated architectures pulse with chaotic order, their intricate lattices echoing both neural pathways and cosmic webs.

As the Diamond Sutra declares: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows."

"Over-Scaled" materializes this truth. Digital images - seemingly concrete yet fundamentally void - reconstruct reality through pixel-voids. Their atomic units oscillate between crude materiality and transcendent emptiness, embodying the Buddhist paradox: "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

The process transforms pixel clusters into generative seeds. Each over-scaled fragment, when fed to algorithms, births autonomous world-slices - a digital pataphysics where pixels become portal and cosmos. Their "dependent origination" (pratītyasamutpāda) is computationally reincarnated: disintegrated blocks regain form through algorithmic karma. Here, the universe's eternal cycle - creation preserved in destruction, purity inherent in corruption - mirrors itself in machine vision.

"Facing the ocean, our helplessness compels us to sail forth through singular pursuit of truth, driven by desire to navigate the unknown with foolish courage."
