During a workshop on photography and AI led by French artist Gwenola Wagon, Jiaqi combined his ongoing research on civic trompe-l’oeil with an archive of scanned Hong Kong postcards to produce a series of 12 new postcards using generative AI. By making slight changes to the original scans, he reimagined landmark buildings in Hong Kong, mainly around Victoria Harbour, as undergoing maintenance. These buildings are wrapped in life-size printed images of their own façades, using a method commonly seen in contemporary building maintenance. Applied to archival images from a time when large-scale digital printing was still developing, this method creates a contradiction between time and technology, questioning the authenticity of the archive. At the same time, reflecting his interest in contemporary trompe-l’oeil, these postcards play with the idea that trompe-l’oeil has expanded beyond a genre of painting to involve power relations between art and civic life.

在法国艺术家Gwenola Wagon主持的一场关于摄影与人工智能的工作坊中，黎家齐将其持续进行的城市错视（civic trompe-l’oeil）研究与香港明信片的扫描图像档案相结合，借助生成式人工智能创作了一组共12张新的明信片。通过对原始扫描图像进行轻微修改，他让香港各处，尤其是维多利亚港周边的地标建筑进入了维护中的状态。这些建筑被印有自身外立面等大图像的围挡包裹，采用的是当下建筑维护中常见的方式。将这一当代技术应用于大幅面数码打印尚在发展阶段的旧档案图像中，造成了时间与技术上的矛盾，也对档案的真实性提出了质疑。与此同时，延续其对当代错视的兴趣，这组明信片尝试探讨错视如何超越绘画类型的范畴，并涉及艺术与城市公共生活之间的权力关系。

工作坊：《在人工智能时代，我们如何创造图像？从反档案到推想性叙事》（工作坊A），导师：Gwenola Wagon，隶属于《摄影200年：图像、再现与人工智能》项目，歌德学院（香港），2026年。
