The new interactive approach of"Text-to-image"of the generative AI model,represented by Midjourney,is widely used.Its new interactive method announces to the public that generative AI leads contemporary art into the era of"the pop-ularization of art".The art media under the influence of generative AI technology has undergone great changes.Art media not on-ly has traditional attributes such as"material","media",and"matter",but also the media environment for art communication has shifted from"representation"to"reproduction".The art media has developed from"agglomerations"to multiple forms,and in the dispersed and extensive"gray media",the"materiality"of art media has been concerned.In the communication of human-machine art,"media presence"and"social presence"jointly construct the social landscape and shape the social reality.
