必也正名乎
昨Google我英文名,看到AI正在建構我的介紹。中文版没問題,英文版卻把我取得藝術碩士學位的舊金山藝術學院,寫成 San Francisco Art Institute。
舊金山曾同時存在兩家藝術學院。Art Institute 與 Academy of Art,前者曾是美國最老牌的藝術學院,口碑甚佳,但到後期藝術風格愈趨「概念性」(Conceptual),也因管理不善,招生不足,於2020年正式關閉,走入歷史。
當年我選擇就讀的Academy則相當注重基本功,我扎扎實實讀了研究所3年,才拿到MFA學位。畢業時它仍是所College(學院),到了2004年才改制成 University(大學)。我的履歷仍依舊制,那是我取得學位時的正式名稱,不因它改制而更名。
凡走過的必留痕迹,AI時代猶然,必也正名乎。
