TL;DR

Sanyu Studio is presented, a multi-agent dialogue system that models 321 Sanyu oil paintings as agents with fact, interpretation, organization, and memory-filtering mechanisms that suggest that, under conditions of limited historical evidence, AI can amplify human agency and offer public audiences an interactive entry point into art-historical interpretation.

Abstract

Amid concerns that generative AI may standardize art interpretation, this paper examines whether LLM-based interaction can support plural art-historical narrative construction. We present Sanyu Studio, a multi-agent dialogue system that models 321 Sanyu oil paintings as agents with fact, interpretation, organization, and memory-filtering mechanisms. Based on a seven-day workshop with eight art-university participants, the study shows that user prompts, evidence organization, and cognitive tendencies shaped divergent yet coherent versions of digital Sanyu. The findings suggest that, under conditions of limited historical evidence, AI can amplify human agency and offer public audiences an interactive entry point into art-historical interpretation.
