Representation and Spreading of Chinese National Culture through AI-Enabled Digital Sculpture

Abstract

In the modern world, digital sculpture technology with the use of neural networks is actively developing in the field of reconstructing works of art, thus contributing to the preservation of cultural heritage. Digital sculpture using artificial intelligence opens new possibilities for the representation of China’s cultural heritage. AI accelerates the process of restoring and recovering damaged or lost cultural assets, which is especially important for preserving unique and fragile artifacts. This study is dedicated to examining the potential of AI-generated digital sculptures in representing and disseminating Chinese national culture. It considers the stages of development of digital sculpture as an art form, analyzing its capabilities and features of artistic expression. Special attention is given to the analysis of key techniques for embodying Chinese national culture in digital sculptures using AI, exemplified by the game «Black Myth: Wukong». The game successfully combines traditional Chinese elements with modern technology, creating a unique and captivating game world that attracts attention with its beauty and realism. The analysis highlights that the use of AI for representing Chinese traditional culture in digital sculptures opens new horizons for artistic creativity and education.
