第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共12小题，每小题2.5分，满分30分）

A

Refik Anadol, a 38-year-old Turkish artist, has become one of the most famous digital artists of his generation. His work seems to be everywhere. Last year, he projected bright coral images onto a wall at the World Economic Forum. His animations (动画) also covered the huge screen of the Sphere in Las Vegas. In October, the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought one of his works.

So why is he so popular? Anadol sees AI as a powerful creative tool. In a world where so much of life happens online, he believes data has become a new kind of “paint”.

Anadol has a deep background in both art and science. He trains AI models on huge amounts of publicly available data to create colorful animations. He calls them “data paintings” when they appear on screens, and “data sculptures” when they move across walls.

Where does his data come from? One artwork used 70 terabytes (太字节) of brain scans. Another used recordings of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. A third combined more than 138,000 images from a museum with local weather data. The results are swirling clouds and waves, as well as abstract images.

Anadol’s work has proved popular. In 2022, about 2.4 million people visited his exhibition in New York. His style is easy to understand. You don’t need to know how machine learning works to enjoy it.

Of course, Anadol has critics as well as admirers. Some compare his animations to fancy screensavers — more spectacular than meaningful. Like anything created by AI, his work raises questions about originality. Is it truly creative, or does it simply recycle the work of others? Some also worry that he presents a too-rosy view of AI, ignoring its risks.

Anadol acknowledges that AI is changing everything — and not always for the better. But he remains excited about what the technology can do. “I don’t see the problem there,” he says. “I see possibilities.”
