China-chic aesthetics, media performance, artificial intelligence, cultural attributesAbstract
The manifestation of "China-Chic" aesthetic symbols is not only a testament to the creation and mastery of innovative models in the digital ecosystem but also a positive management of information flow. Mythological elements and other realities interweave to form interactive interfaces that integrate the layered network of digital identities with empathetic domains. The digitalization of films and games through plundered settings and operational modes revitalizes classical culture, while the replication and documentation of rural landscapes, such as ancient architectural sites, provide exemplary models for multi-faceted cultural tourism practices enhanced by digital intelligence. Through platforms like gaming livestreamers, discussions across major platforms and derivative works such as IP-themed picture books, advertisements and fan fiction, the values of China's outstanding traditional culture are creatively adapted and transformed across diverse media in the AI era. These multifaceted pathways can maximize the public acceptance and even overseas dissemination of cultural spirit. Domestic aesthetic practices around 2024-2025 are hidden in the undercurrent of this trend.References
