与人工智能共玩超现实主义游戏
著名的「精美尸骸」（源自法语原词 cadavre exquis，直译为「精美尸骸」）是一种集体拼合词语或图像的方法。每位合作者依序向一幅构图中添加内容，或遵循特定规则（例如：“形容词 名词 副词 动词 the 形容词 名词。”如：“那只绿色的鸭子甜美地唱起那首可怕的挽歌。”），或仅能看见前一位参与者所写内容的末尾部分。
该技法由超现实主义者发明，类似于一种古老的客厅游戏，名为后果：玩家轮流在一张纸上书写，再将纸张折叠以遮盖部分文字，然后传给下一位玩家继续补充。超现实主义主要创始人安德烈·布勒东曾记述，此游戏最初纯属娱乐，继而变得富有趣味性，最终更富启发性。
其名称源于超现实主义者首次游戏时生成的一句短语：“Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau.”（“精美尸骸将饮新酒。”）安德烈·布勒东写道，该游戏始于蒙帕纳斯蒙帕纳斯区城堡街54号一座老宅（今已不存）内友人的住所。除他自己外，他还提及马塞尔·杜哈梅尔、雅克·普雷韦尔、伊夫·唐吉和本杰明·佩雷为最初的参与者。
精美尸骸将饮新酒。
「精美尸骸」真正引人入胜之处在于：这些怪诞拼合而成的图像，竟以某种方式向我们诉说着什么。毕竟，曾启发超现实主义者的19世纪法国诗人伊西多尔·杜卡斯（即洛特雷阿蒙伯爵）有句著名箴言：
“美，是手术台上一架缝纫机与一把雨伞的偶然相遇。”
在八年级课堂上，学生先了解超现实主义艺术运动及其主要艺术家，随后尝试开展这一游戏：六人围坐于桌旁，每人取一张纸；第一位参与者悄悄写下某个名词（动物、物体、人物……），将纸张折叠以遮住所写内容，再传给下一位；第二位添加一个形容词，折叠后传给第三人，此人再写另一个名词与另一个形容词；接着，最后两位参与者分别添加一个动词（复数形式）与一个地点：
- 名词（动物、物体、人物……）
- 形容词
- 名词（动物、物体、人物……）
- 形容词
- 动词（复数）
- 地点
最后展开纸张，朗读结果。例如：
“一只快乐的山羊与一把紫色的锤子正在屋顶上跳舞”
每位游戏参与者最终都将获得一张纸，上面描述了两个物体、人物或动物，以及它们在特定地点所进行的动作。完成句子创作后，我们将这些句子交予人工智能图像生成器处理，例如Canva、Musavir、Fotor、AI Test Kitchen。

Surrealist Games with Artificial Intelligence
The famous “Exquisite corpse”(from the original French term *cadavre exquis, literally exquisite cadaver) is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g., “The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun*.” as in “The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge.”) or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.
This technique was invented by surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching.
The name is derived from a phrase that resulted when Surrealists first played the game, “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau.” (“The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.”) André Breton writes that the game developed at the residence of friends at an old house in Montparnasse, 54 rue du Château (no longer existing). Besides himself he mentions Marcel Duhamel, Jacques Prévert, Yves Tanguy and Benjamin Péret as original participants.
The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.
The real interest that the Exquisite Corpses arouse lies in the fact that these bizarre, assembled images somehow speak to us. After all, the famous aphorism of the Count of Lautréamont (Isidore Ducasse), a French poet from the 1800s who inspired the Surrealists, goes like this:
“Beauty is the chance meeting, on an operating table, between a sewing machine and an umbrella”
With 8th grade students, after exploring the artistic movement of Surrealism and its main artists, , we tried to play this game: 6 people sit around a table, take a sheet of paper and the first person secretly writes a NOUN (animal, object, person…), folds the page so that the others don’t read it, and passes it to the next person. The next person adds an ADJECTIVE, folds the sheet of paper, passes it to another person who writes another NAME and another ADJECTIVE, subsequently the last two participants add a VERB and a PLACE:
- NOUN (animal, object, person…)
- ADJECTIVE
- NOUN (animal, object, person…)
- ADJECTIVE
- plural VERB
- PLACE
Finally, the paper is unrolled and the result is read. For example:
“a happy goat and a purple hammer are dancing on a roof”
Each participant of the game will eventually have their own sheet with two objects, people or animals described, doing something in a specific place. After composing our sentences we entrusted them to an Artificial Intelligence Image Generator, like Canva, Musavir , Fotor, AI Test Kitchen.
Here are our “Exquisite corpse” with the surrealist phrases that generated them through Artificial Intelligence, in this game the fun is guaranteed!
a happy goat and a purple hammer are dancing on a roof
two green postmen and an angry octopus sing on a ladder
