Abstract
Since the early twentieth century, the art tradition in China has been challenged by art practices from the West, which has led to a bifurcation in Chinese art practices: one branch has stayed true to the traditional Chinese style with ink and the other has turned to the Western style. Although always accompanied by heated debates on whether Chinese painting should retain its ink tradition, efforts have been made to find a third way in-between the two styles, to make traditional Chinese art contemporary by incorporating traditional ideas and artistic techniques in new media art practices. These art practices are much less accessible internationally because of the difficulty in categorising and understanding them. This essay recontextualises these artworks in the context of traditional Chinese aesthetics by introducing the concept Yixiang (意象), with a discussion of the artwork “Melt” by Pan, Gongkai (潘公凯). The non-dualistic, dynamic, and relational features of Yixiang (意象) resonate with the characteristics of contemporary new media art practices, which usually include dynamic moving images or installation spaces that invite audience participation. Through a careful introduction of the cultural significance of Xiang (象) thinking, as well as its embodiment in artworks, this article proposes a new way of looking at contemporary media artworks which may go beyond the cultural confines of Chinese or Western art.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
