Maybe this old philosophy could be a way of life- could also help us think a little more deeply about these decisions and remember that there is beauty in imperfection.
Can a computer create art that moves you? Michael Todd Fink dives into this intriguing question as he explores the evolving landscape of art and artificial intelligence. Surveys show that people often can't tell the difference between music composed by humans and AI, and sometimes they even find AI's creations more inspiring. But what does this mean for our understanding of beauty?
In this episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael takes us on a journey through the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi, which celebrates the beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. He argues that our outlook on beauty is just as important, if not more so, than the outcome. By embracing life's flaws and fleeting moments, we can cultivate a deeper sense of spiritual wonder and acceptance.
Michael also raises important questions about how society defines beauty and the role mindfulness plays in this conversation. He believes that by practicing meditation and mindfulness, we can start to reframe our ideas about beauty and self-care. This episode isn't just about art or technology; it's about how we perceive and appreciate the world around us. If you're curious about how art and AI intersect or interested in ancient philosophies like Wabi Sabi, this episode offers a fresh perspective.
Michael's thoughtful insights will encourage you to think deeply about your own relationship with beauty and how you can find harmony in an imperfect world.
