《七秒钟》是一部充满诗意的人机协作纪录短片，也是对一个国际巡展装置所形成的视觉档案与记忆保存实验。面对阿尔茨海默症病例增长与机器生成“虚假记忆”的时代背景，影片以人工智能的视角重新想象记忆。作品源自互动式 AI 艺术装置 ReCollection：来自世界各地的参与者在七秒内低声讲述逐渐消逝的记忆，系统通过语音识别、文本自动补全与图像生成，将片段化叙述转化为合成视觉。影片从这一不断演化的档案中选取并重组声音、文本与图像数据，借助语音生成影像与程序化视觉处理，编织关于爱与失落的多元文化群像。作品建立记忆之间的对话、对位与共振，使个体回忆共同构成一种流动的集体人类自我画像。
You Only Have Seven Seconds is a poetic human–AI collaborative documentary that unfolds as both a visual archive of an internationally exhibited installation and a cinematic experiment in memory preservation. Developed from the interactive AI artwork ReCollection, the film draws on seven-second whispered recollections contributed by participants worldwide. Speech recognition, text auto-completion, and image generation transform these fragments into synthetic visual memories. The artists curate and reorganize the resulting audio, text, and image archive through speech-to-video generation and procedural visualization, weaving a culturally diverse montage of love and loss. Patterns, counterpoints, and resonances between individual memories evoke a poetics of relation and form a dynamic portrait of collective human selfhood.
背景 · Background
作品源于 Weidi Zhang 目睹祖母因失智而逐渐丧失记忆的个人经历。ReCollection 最初是一项关于记忆消逝的私人反思，随后通过国际巡展与公众参与，发展为一个跨越文化与身份边界的共享世界建构项目。2025 年，在参与者许可的基础上，艺术家从装置所积累的声音与生成图像档案中进行策展式选取，并创作了这部电影。
The work grew from Weidi Zhang’s experience of witnessing her grandmother’s cognitive decline. What began as a personal reflection through ReCollection evolved, through international exhibitions and public participation, into shared world-building across cultural and identity boundaries. In 2025, with participants’ permission, the artists curated the installation’s accumulated audio and generated-image archive to create the film.
概念 · Concept
《七秒钟》是一部充满诗意的人机协作纪录短片，既是国际巡展互动装置所形成的视觉档案，也是一场关于记忆保存的电影化实验。面对阿尔茨海默症病例增长与机器生成“虚假记忆”的时代背景，作品以人工智能的视角重新想象记忆。影片重新组织 ReCollection 参与者贡献的声音、文本与生成图像，建立记忆之间的“对话关系”，形成模式、对位与共振，并唤起一种“关系的诗学”——差异在其中被承认，而非被消解。作品由个人反思演化为共享世界建构经验，将短暂消逝的过去重新组装为集体人类自我意识的动态肖像。
You Only Have Seven Seconds is a poetic human–AI collaborative documentary that unfolds as both a visual archive of an internationally exhibited installation and a cinematic experiment in memory preservation. Against rising Alzheimer’s cases and machine-generated false memories, the film reimagines remembrance through artificial intelligence. Reorganizing voices, texts, and generated images contributed through ReCollection, the artists build their “dialogical relationships,” forming patterns, counterpoints, and resonances that evoke a poetics of relation—where difference is acknowledged, not dissolved. Conceived as a personal reflection, the work evolves into shared world-building that reassembles the ephemeral past into a dynamic portrait of collective human selfhood.
