ArtVerse: A Paradigm for Parallel Human–Machine Collaborative Painting Creation in Metaverses
提出ArtVerse范式，让机器模拟人类进行创作探索和演化，构建去中心化艺术组织，实现元宇宙中的人机协作绘画，并展示原型系统与应用。
Currently, the development of the foundation model, metaverse, nonfungible token (NFT), and other emerging technologies has brought profound effects on the whole art field, including art creation, dissemination, transaction, etc. However, there is no research focusing on the framework, methodologies, and applications of the human–machine collaborative creation in the metaverse era. Based on parallel theory, this article proposes a novel human–machine collaborative creation paradigm called ArtVerse, in which machines take on the roles of humans to perform creation exploration and evolution and build decentralized art organizations. Besides, the operational processes involving several key technologies are designed to achieve the proposed ArtVerse. Then, a prototype system of ArtVerse, our long-term efforts toward the human–machine collaborative painting, is presented. Finally, a new ecology of artistic creation in the metaverse era is demonstrated through the applications of the ArtVerse.
