3. Close But No Cigar

By: Hakan Biyiklioglu

In the future, our perception may be re-shaped with AI. In 10, 20, even 30 years, how do we tell “Common” from “Odd” ?

Exposure to AI-generated surreal images might lead to a shift in aesthetic preferences. As people become accustomed to seeing unconventional and dreamlike compositions, their appreciation for these types of images could grow, causing a recalibration of their perceptions of “normal” artistic representations.
