ABSTRACT

In traditional systems, the artistic merit, market value, and industry recognition of performers serve as core pillars. The emergence of AI synthesis technology has shattered the conventional notion that "performance must rely on real humans." This paper explores the reconstruction of performers' subjectivity within the AIGC context, examining how AI synthesis technology disrupts traditional value systems, and how performers navigate the surging tide of technological transformation to find new positioning and development pathways.
