Artist Zhongyao Wang uses artificial intelligence tools to repeatedly overlay and generate new images on photographs taken by photographer Zhang Beichen on the shores of the Yellow Sea in China. The silver spherical architectural structure in the photo gradually transforms into ice cores containing methane gas locked in glaciers, as well as spherical objects like green algae releasing oxygen through photosynthesis beneath the sea surface. A poem describing climate change is hidden in the image like a tide, and as the words flow, the original real scenes in the photo are replaced by a pervasive poetic landscape. Scenes related to bubbles imply the various consequences of climate change. As the latter part of the poem suggests, when we look at this dim blue planet—Earth—from the universe, will it also be the illusion of a fragile bubble? The poem is immersed in images reconstructed by artificial intelligence, calling on us to cherish our only and vulnerable home.

艺术家王钟垚使用人工智能工具，在摄影师张北辰拍摄于中国黄海边的照片上反复叠加、生成新的图像。照片中的银色球形建筑物，逐渐变成了冰川中封存着甲烷气体的冰芯，以及海面下光合作用释放氧气的绿藻等球状物体。一首描写气候变化的诗歌，像潮水一样藏匿在图像中，随着文字的流转，原本存在于照片中的真实景象被一种弥漫的诗意景色所取代，而一幕幕与气泡相关的画面，则暗示着气候变化带来的各种后果。如诗歌后半段所言，当我们从宇宙遥望这颗暗淡蓝点——地球时，它也会是脆弱泡沫的幻影吗？诗歌浸入被人工智能重构的画面，呼吁我们珍惜唯一的、脆弱的家园。
shimmers beneath the fragile clouds.
In elusive waves it floats,
where twilight bounds with the lucid gleam of dawn.
These mellow shiny bubbles
awaken your distant memories.
On the other edge of the ocean,
where bubbles were trapped in the glacier,
your keen ears captured some subtle sounds:
bursting bubbles
deep cold murmurs
and long exhales
purr~~~~~~
The glum melting sighs.
Are we sinking
or is the horizon expanding upwards?
On the swell of the incoming tides,
we bob gently downside up.
Our watery eyes are greeted by salt water.
Inadvertently nothing can escape the rippling sea.
Bubbling
Prochlorococcus,
non-verbal photosynthetic organism,
flows in fluorescence
like translucent emerald.
Inhale
Exhale
Bubbles rising from the ocean
paved the way for creatures
to crawl from water to the land.
A mirage of vulnerable bubbles.
Will it be the destiny of our home,
when we recall it from the outer space?
A pale blue dot
gradually blurred in the distance.
Thousands of clear light bulbs
pulse with increasing heat.
Accumulated deferrals
echo the sleeping moon,
till the light breaks.
