埃斯·德夫林为国家肖像馆创作的《国家肖像》
内容总结：
英国国家肖像馆携手艺术家艾斯·德夫林与谷歌艺术与文化，即日起推出大型互动数字艺术作品《国家肖像》。即日起至2027年10月27日，全英年满18岁的公众均可成为这件作品的“合著者”。参与者只需通过谷歌艺术与文化平台专属体验拍摄个人照片，AI技术便会将其转化为德夫林风格的炭笔与粉彩动态数字肖像。每位参与者可重绘最多五次，生成的数字版本可即时下载，并选择是否加入国家肖像馆实时更新的集体肖像中。
这件作品凝聚了长达三年的AI协作研究成果，也是德夫林与谷歌团队十年合作探索科技赋能集体艺术创作的最新成果。此前双方曾合作推出《请喂狮子》和《诗歌肖像》等互动装置。艺术家将三十年炭笔绘画实践与Gemini图像模型及数字动画技术相结合，邀请全英民众共同绘制一幅不断自我更新的“国家面容”。正如德夫林所言：“国家肖像馆属于我们所有人，它像一面镜子，映射我们的过去与未来，无论背景与信仰，这幅肖像能容纳每一个参与者。”
国家肖像馆馆长尼古拉斯·库里南表示，这是该馆首次尝试将数字技术与全民共创深度结合。为配合展览，馆方将于5月14日举办免费绘画工作坊，并在谷歌艺术文化平台发布分步绘画教程，使无法到场的公众也能参与创作。谷歌艺术与文化创始人阿米特·苏德强调：“这项多层技术融合让全国范围内协作成为可能，真正实现了技术服务于艺术民主化。”
需要特别说明的是，AI生成的肖像可能出现意外或不准确的视觉效果，相关技术政策详情可查阅谷歌AI政策页面。

Es Devlin’s ‘A National Portrait’ for the National Portrait Gallery
Today everyone in every part of the UK 18 and over can become a co-author of A National Portrait displayed at the National Portrait Gallery until October 27. This artwork is the culmination of three years of collaborative AI research and follows our decade long collaboration exploring ways advanced technologies can aid participation in collective artworks. Previous collaborations include Please Feed the Lions and Poem Portraits.
To participate in ‘A National Portrait’, take a photograph of yourself on the dedicated interactive experience on Google Arts & Culture where it will be transformed into an animated digital portrait generated in the style of Devlin's charcoal and chalk drawings. Within moments a digital edition of your portrait will be downloadable, and you can choose for your portrait to be included in a live evolving collective portrait displayed at the National Portrait Gallery until 27 October 2026. This is an experience that relies on the coming together of your individual phone processing your portrait based on the underlying technology. You can redraw up to five times.
To accompany this work, we encourage everyone to “leave traces” of their encounters with one another through the physical drawing process, as portrait artists have always done. There will be a free drawing event at the National Portrait Gallery on May 14, along with a number of workshops taking place during the period the work is displayed. For those who cannot visit the gallery in person, we have published a step-by-step drawing class published on Google Arts and Culture, available to everyone across the UK.
“It is a privilege to continue our decade-long collaboration with Es Devlin and help bring Es’s vision to life with Google technology. This latest work is a coming together of multiple technologies including the Gemini Image model layered with digital animation to scale Devlin’s thirty-year charcoal drawing practice into a nationwide invitation, allowing anyone in the UK to become a co-author of this collective work.” Amit Sood, VP and Founder, Google Arts & Culture
“The National Portrait Gallery belongs to us. It's the largest collection of portraits in the world and its 220,000 artworks are part of our cultural commons. It is a mirror of us: it reflects who we’ve been and who we are becoming. The portrait can hold all of us, together, whatever our backgrounds and beliefs, constantly redrawing itself to include each new participant. It explores national identity as a continuous process of collective imagination.” Es Devlin, Artist
