This study examines the experimental video work Ongoing Memories as a case study, focusing on the imbalance of visual control and cultural biases in AIGC-driven artistic creation. Addressing the gaps of “inability to semantically align with the creator's intent” and “reproduction of stereotypical visual archetypes,” we propose a “control cession” strategy: by operably setting datasets and stylistic boundaries, AI participates as a visual collaborator within limited freedom rather than functioning as the artwork itself. Implementation employs LoRA-directed training with unified style prompts alongside a granular tagging system, ensuring narrative coherence through image filtering and refinement. At the work level, a dual-layer interwoven structure combines AI-generated imagery with fossilized images**, using cyclically overlaid layers of equal transparency to reveal the ongoing construction of “historical imagery” within contemporary culture. Practice demonstrates that the “boundary-freedom” framework enhances visual consistency in AIGC imagery while transforming algorithmic biases into semantic resources for the work. This paper contributes by: (1) proposing and formalizing a methodology for controlled creative delegation; (2) providing a reusable collaborative workflow (tagging-training-screening-narrative assembly); (3) clearly defining the role relationship between artists and AI, providing a path for methodological coherence in AIGC within contemporary expression.
