The ADFA (Analog-Digital Fusion Art) Protocol (v4): Issuing the Artist's Passport in the Age of Synthetic Art: The #ADFA_on_Canvas Caption Movement
Abstract
■ Abstract & Techno-Aesthetic Framework OverviewThe ADFA (Analog-Digital Fusion Art) Protocol (v4) is an open-source, evolutionary techno-aesthetic framework formulated to practically defend the authenticity and creative sovereignty of human creators against the deluge of generative neural networks and synthetic art. Critiquing the epistemological laziness of the conventional "Digital Mixed Media" nomenclature, this paper conceptualizes the "Co-existence of Material and Pixel" by embedding the irreversible True Random Entropy of human embodiment—such as somatic hand tremors and material textile friction—directly onto the deterministic digital vector grid. This iteration integrates theoretical discourse with concrete empirical validation through the artifact "Untitled-10-1" (2026), demonstrating how the protocol induces "Aesthetic Degradation (Chitamism/欺態)" to technically disrupt unauthorized algorithmic scraping. Released under a Creative Commons License (CC BY-SA 4.0), the protocol functions as an adaptive "Artist’s Passport" and an institutional standard via the global #ADFA_on_Canvas movement, establishing a data-resistant media norm for decentralized contemporary art markets (K-Art-nomics). ============================================================[Global Creator Guide: Standard #ADFA_on_Canvas Caption Template]Artists who endorse and implement the principles of this research protocol are fully authorized to copy, embed, and deploy the following provenance framework within both their online portfolios and physical exhibition captions. ■ Artwork Title : [Insert Your Artwork Title]■ Artist : [Insert Your Name]■ Protocol : ADFA v4 Certified (Analog-Digital Fusion Art)■ Provenance Registry : https://zenodo.org/records/21539765■ Movement : #ADFA_on_Canvas============================================================ ■ Intellectual Property & Citation Notice- Formulated by Critic Kang Gyeongho (Art Critic & ADFA-Artist)- ORCID iD: 0009-0005-8458-7551- Published via NewsBusan (Theoretical Exposition idx=16619 / Cultural Columns idx=16800, idx=16850).- For maintaining continuous citation authority, please utilize the overarching Concept DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21539765 which permanently resolves to the latest evolutionary version.
