A detail from our suite in the Meridian Hotel in Barcelona. If you are going to Barcelona, I cannot recommend this hotel too highly. It is perfectly located near the top of Las Ramblas, is reasonably priced, provides superb customer service, and is a feast of artistic sensitivity. It was a wonderful contrast to Royal Caribbean.

Icelandic Highland 20210719
The Icelandic Highland is a huge uninhabited area of Iceland basically covering the center and sometimes stretching to places near the shore. The whole highland area is loaded with natural wonders, hiking trails, places to visit, fascinating geology, mountains, geothermal pools, waterfalls, and much more. It is characterized and defined by altitude as the term Highland implies. It is mostly above 350 meters and thus usually rather cold and seldom specifically warm. In any sense of the word, it is extremely sensitive. The soil, the lava, the moss, the vegetation, the roads, the hiking trails.
Most of the time the whole area is under snow. Almost nine months of the year. Only in the summer does the Highland reveal itself and start blooming and exposing its vegetation, crystal clear creeks, and beautiful mountains with thousands of colors. In large areas, it consists of vast black sands, dark lava, suspiciously looking rocks, powerful rivers flooding from under glaciers, and long horizons. If there is one message or one thing an Icelander would tell you about the Highland it would be to understand the sensitivity of this harsh landscape.

Taking Flight - A Long-tailed Weasel takes flight while hunting for pocket gophers. Recently, I took a trip up North to photograph these guys. I hadn't been to the North Bay in 4 years. It's one of my favorite places but being in the South Bay the 2 hour drive is long for me. However, these weasels got me out of bed at 3 AM and out the door at 4 AM and I completed the 225 mile round trip and got to see 13 of them and meet some awesome North Bay photographers as well.
It's just amazing how quickly and erratically this species moves. It is impossible to reliably track them with the DSLR. I had to stop down one f-stop and set the sensitivity to the highest setting and only 3 out of my nearly 500 images of them jumping came in focus. That being said these 3 are all I needed and I was most happy with this one.
Species: Long-tailed Weasel (Mustela frenata)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Nikon D850 + Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 ED VR
Settings: 1/3200s, ISO: 400, f/6.3, -1.0 EV, Handheld @500mm

Fotografiado después de una tormenta eléctrica, cuando el cielo aún está muy oscuro. Jugando con la sensibilidad y el balance de blancos, trato de lograr una mezcla inteligente entre contraste y colores.
Once again I decided to make my life more challenging and interesting so looked up "What does blue represent" in Google and this was their response: "The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence". So I decided to try my hand at
open spaces, and found it to be a fun challenge, I hope you like what I have done.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

a Red Morph Eastern Screech Owl in Ottawa Nov 14, 2021and this was a late light shot where/when the camera could see better than the human eye at an elevated ISO ( light sensitivity). Have to hand it to Canon on the R series of mirrorless cameras for low noise high ISO capabilities. The background was quite awful as it was blown out with grey clouds so I took some time to replace the background with the BG from one of my yard shots....
Three years ago I photographed this mushroom here in the forest at my home when the daylight fell only very slightly through the forest canopy. At the moment I had liked the idea to try to combine the mushroom with a different background, which was also done very close by, but at another time.

Contrast management:
Although it is said that with Diafine it is not possible to change the contrast using push / pull development, with changing the ISO sensitivity of the film, it is quite possible.
The normal ISO value for Tmax 100 / Diafine is ISO 200.
This image is exposed to ISO 400 and is developed normally.
The contrast is significantly increased.

Lit with the new Shadowhawk 10,000 lumen LED torch
The lumen (symbol: lm) is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time, in the International System of Units (SI). Luminous flux differs from power (radiant flux) in that radiant flux includes all electromagnetic waves emitted, while luminous flux is weighted according to a model (a "luminosity function") of the human eye's sensitivity to various wavelengths. One lux is one lumen per square metre.
Oaxaca (Mexique) – Je sortais de la "basilica de nuestro senora de saledad", quand j’ai entendu un accordéon qui égrenait quelques notes. La musique était bizarre, comme si l'accordéoniste – que je ne voyais pas à cet instant – ne savait pas jouer de son instrument. Une "mélodie" hésitante, mais envoutante. Répétitive. Je me suis laissé guider par les notes, jusqu'à cette famille qui faisait la manche. Si la musique n'était pas extraordinaire, elle était obsédante et la scène qui s'offrait à moi était magique. Quatre personnages sur ce fond bleu, baignant dans une lumière chaude. Les rayons du soleil se concentraient sur le visage illuminé de la femme. J’ai hésité à m'approcher, de peur que l'enchantement ne soit rompu. Les notes maladroitement jouées enveloppaient la scène et renforçaient ce sentiment de vivre un moment irréel. Je n'ai pas osé prendre de photo. Je me suis éloigné. Cette famille déshéritée me mettait mal à l'aise. Pour la première fois, je me suis senti "voyeur". Vingt secondes plus tard, je suis revenu sur mes pas, estimant que cette photo, je la regretterai toute ma vie. J'ai mis un gros billet dans la casquette rouge tenue par la jeune mère et j'ai demandé si je pouvais les prendre en photo ? Un simple acquiescement de la tête, à peine perceptible, de la jeune femme. J'ai fait deux photos. Pas une de plus.
The accordionist who did not know to play
Oaxaca (Mexico) - I was leaving the "basilica de nuestro senora de saledad", where I had taken some pictures. As it was dark I increased the sensitivity. Normal. But what is less is that when going out, I did not change the sensitivity, while there was an astonishing brightness at the end of the day.
That's when I heard an accordion. The music was weird, as if the accordionist - whom I couldn't see - didn't really know how to play his instrument. A hesitant "melody", but captivating like repetitive music.
I let myself be guided by the notes, until I saw this little family that appealed to charity. If the music was not extraordinary despite its haunting side, the scene before me was wonderful. Four figures on this blue background, bathed in a very warm light. The woman was overexposed by the ray of sunlight that hit her face.
I hesitated to approach, I do not know why, probably for fear that this spectacle does not stop. May the enchantment be broken. The awkwardly played notes enveloped the stage and reinforced this feeling of living an unreal moment. Magic.
Finally I did not dare to take the photo and I walked away. After twenty seconds I changed my mind - I'm still a rationalist - and I retraced my steps, telling myself that this photo, I will regret it all my life.
I put a big ticket in the red cap held by the young mother and asked if I could take a picture of them ?
They haven't changed their proud and distant attitude. I took two photos. Not one more.
It was in the evening at the hotel that I realized that the sensitivity was not adapted, accentuating the contrast.

I most often encounter hares hunkered down, but bristling with sensitivity. I often wonder what they make of you when they watch. Is it only to see if you are a threat, or is there anything else going on?
What is the association? The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue also represents meanings of depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence.
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
This film lacks the orange masking layer other color print film has. The result is extended blue sensitivity and a certain "retro" sensibility.
This time I walked by the Urca Beach and decided to accelerate the pace before the light go away. So I had to adjust the sensitivity of my inseparable companion to capture the sun's rays mixed with the blue of the sky. However, I must mention that the winter solstice showed their colors in this magical sunset.

======================
Using a large format camera, made by Konrad Seitz in Nürnberg c.1895, in 13x18 format, to practice home-made dry collodion plates. I use tannin to preserve the sensitivity of wet plate collodion glass plates; as described by Major Russell in 1861. You can see the image taken with this exposure:
The rural complex known as Torre Marimon, now hosting the IRTA, a public company dedicated to the agricultural and food research.
The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Given all these positive qualities, I find it odd that blue is a rarity when it comes to nature. It is by far less prevalent than the reds, yellows, and greens. You'd think Mother Nature would give it a fair shake.

The ‘Sarotti Moor’ is considered the oldest advertising figure in Germany. His date of birth: 27 August 1918.
The ‘Sarotti Moor’ is viewed with more sensitivity today, as its depiction goes back to clichés from the colonial era. The figure - once intended as a symbol of exoticism and luxury - shows a dark-skinned servant in orientalising garb. Many people today consider such depictions to be outdated because they convey stereotypical images. The logo has therefore been adapted over time to reflect more modern ideas of respect and diversity.
Le hall omnisports monumental du boulevard de la Constitution est appelé à disparaître d'ici quelques années. En attendant, il sera au cœur de la transformation du quartier de Bavière. Composé de bardages métalliques disgracieux, ce hall accueille quotidiennement de nombreux jeunes -et moins jeunes- sportifs et sa dynamique interne est intacte.
En attendant la construction du nouveau hall omnisports, et pour égayer cette période de transition, Paliss'art et Spray Can Arts avaient décidé d’apporter des couleurs à cette construction austère.
Le week-end des 18, 19 et 20 octobre 2019, ils ont organisé une grande jam, qui, malgré une météo capricieuse et très humide, fut un beau moment d'échange entre une vingtaine de jeunes artistes et de talents confirmés provenant des grandes villes de la province de Liège.
Chaque artiste ou collectif a disposé d'un « panneau » (6 m de large sur 9 m de haut) où il a pu exprimer son art et sa sensibilité, en toute liberté.
Neuf travées (côté habitations) ont été décorées ainsi que les deux pignons d’entrée avant et arrière du hall.
Vingt-deux artistes de Liège et de sa province ont participé à cette grande jam. Il s’agit de : Johnny Boy, Osrev, Dens, Hooker, Brife, Germ, Ortega, Rusty, Roes, Posey, Hyer, Dont, Ecto, Enof, Salo, Nespa, Kidar, Psoman, Bruce, Infar, Demk et Mekas.
The monumental sports hall on Boulevard de la Constitution is set to disappear within a few years. In the meantime, it will be at the heart of the transformation of the Bavaria district. Made up of unsightly metal cladding, this hall welcomes many young - and not so young - athletes every day and its internal dynamics are intact.
While waiting for the construction of the new sports hall, and to brighten up this transition period, Paliss'art and Spray Can Arts decided to add color to this austere construction.
On the weekend of October 18, 19 and 20, 2019, they organized a large jam, which, despite capricious and very humid weather, was a beautiful moment of exchange between around twenty young artists and established talents from major towns in the province of Liège.
Each artist or collective had a “panel” (6 m wide by 9 m high) where they could express their art and their sensitivity, in complete freedom.
Nine bays (residential side) were decorated as well as the two front and rear entrance gables of the hall.
Twenty-two artists from Liège and its province participated in this great jam. They are: Johnny Boy, Osrev, Dens, Hooker, Brife, Germ, Ortega, Rusty, Roes, Posey, Hyer, Dont, Ecto, Enof, Salo, Nespa, Kidar, Psoman, Bruce, Infar, Demk and Mekas .
Over all... Not so bad. Was interesting to find out that ISO doesn't increase sensitivity of the sensor, it adds brightness. Noise from the sensor is inherent regardless of the ISO setting. With enough light the image drowns out the already present noise, With to little light, and increased gain of higher ISOs (increased brightness) noise becomes more obvious? Ok so what if I set the ISO to Auto and add exposure compensation and then instead of bringing up the exposure in post, the shadows and the blacks or brightness, I instead decrease the exposure make appropriate adjustments to color and bring the highlights up a bit? I have one image with no EV compensation and this one with it bringing up the exposure 2 stops and then reducing it in Photoshop. A lot less noise with the EV comp so a lot less noise reduction in post.. On this image.
Instead of bringing the exposure up in post why not a slightly higher exposure and the reduce it in Raw editor and bury a bunch of the noise in the shadows I want anyway?
A WOMAN.
She is like that.
Of those.
It's like the times that the verse jumps from its abysses. It is thrown.
Scream, dance, jump, cry.
It's one of those.

For this series,I was lucky enough to have a lot of subjects to practice on, since I was really testing out some focus settings. I have upped my focus sensitivity on this camera, and I think my keeper rate for moving subjects has gone up.
-Artificial intelligence “image generators” give everyone the opportunity to be creative, and thanks to their abilities, millions of people have this experience. But there is confusion and new questions. As the artistic prowess of artificial intelligence emerges, it raises questions we haven't encountered before about what it means to be human. Some consider AI products to be works of art, while others object. I evaluated the facts analytically in terms of art philosophy and wrote my ideas in this article.
Below is the article I wrote about art, artist concepts, can artificial intelligence make art, analysis of human art and artificial intelligence products.
*
AN ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE "ART" ADVENTURE OF HUMANS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The concept of "art" is the field of creativity, the only feature of being human. As the artistic prowess of Artificial intelligence emerges in a fast-moving world, it raises questions we've never encountered before about what it means to be "human". What kind of a period will "art", which is the result of human concepts such as existence, society, communication, subconscious, emotions, imagination, intuition, love, sensitivity, impulse, instinct, dream, originality and of course, creativity, enter into a period with Artificial intelligence (AI)? With its revolutionary technology that will change production, thinking, lifestyles and the future, will artificial intelligence, which is designed to replace people in other fields of activity, be more creative than humans in the field of art and reach the competence to challenge the artist?
According to Hegel, art carries the spirit of the artist, who is transferred to matter and likens matter to himself. Well, since the products created by machines without a soul today are not generated by an artist, can they carry spirit and meaning?
For years, computer technology has already made an impact and contribution to visual arts with image technologies such as vector, bitmap, 3D, CGI as a tool that creates, processes and changes the image. Today, many smart image generators such as Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, Craiyon, Midjourney, Nightcafe Ai, etc. are software systems that can statistically evaluate themselves over large datasets containing millions of images, train themselves, and produce new images that are not included in the original dataset. Not just images, AI is already being used in other branches of the arts to create music, poetry, sculpture, stories, articles and films.
There are many new questions and concepts such as whether the products created by a system that has human skills but is not human are real works of art, whether programmers and machines will be accepted as artists, whether AI products can be included in the broad and general definition of art. Although there are objections, acceptances, doubts, different opinions, it has been met with great interest by the majority.
First of all, it is necessary to talk about the concepts of “Art” and “Artist”. In its most general definition, art is a reflection of the human mind and cultural evolution, an expression of creativity, way of thinking and imagination. The artist, on the other hand, is the one who makes art with the awareness of "being human", humanizes and shapes life, and realizes the phenomenon of art with action. The artist combines facts with aesthetic elements from a different point of view and records them in social memory. Behind his creative works lie deep stories of man, his age and society. He uses his imagination, patience, enthusiasm and self-sacrificing efforts to embed his passions, memories, dreams, imaginary and abstract ideas, symbols, philosophy and his inner world, the dynamics of the era and society he lives in, with aesthetic expressions. The process of creating the artist's art is complex and difficult, while filtering everything he is affected by and incorporating it into his works. He feels both sadness and happiness most deeply, and experiences his anxiety and pleasure at the highest level.
Art originates from life and human beings and belongs to humans. “Art is an object made by man for man. “ (E.H.Gombrich, The Story of Art) This is a very accurate definition and “Art” is based on a human-made phenomenon that takes its source from the human artist and seeks meaning with its historical, social accumulation and imagination; existence occurs in the unity of human, artist, meaning, aesthetic object and aesthetic taste. In this respect, there is a deep bond of existence between man, art and work of art that complements each other.
The artist searches for the meanings behind artistic intentions and desires and vital phenomena. Since AI is not a living, emotional being, it lacks imagination, the reality of its external world, and the qualities of being human. Unfortunately, those who claim in advance that the products of AI are art, underestimate the artist who realizes the thousands-year-old deep source of art and the artistic production process, and find it unnecessary to question the artist's effort and necessity. Decisions made by those who do not know the depth of the creative process, without entering the enthusiastic world of an artist, are in favor of accepting and affirming AI products without questioning them. We see that the capitalist world, which wants to benefit from the stimulating effect of the trade created by AI products, has great expectations to use this situation in its favor and turn it into money.
The production process of AI is formed by the combination of computer, programmer, data, algorithm, output, aesthetic taste of the receptive subject. Since AI does not perform its actions by focusing on aesthetic values, aesthetic harmony and meaning, the output it produces is only a sensory, aesthetic value uncertain, non-essential, formal object. Because it lacks the subjective point of view and the values of the special creation process in the mind of an artist. The software, which does not take its source from the human mind, does not have emotions, and produces from ready-made data, has the potential to produce likeable outputs. It can even produce outputs, albeit rare, that, by chance, can give aesthetic pleasure and cause emotional and artistic excitement in people. Again, it is the receptive subject himself who adds artistic value to such an output with his artistic disposition, education and dreams. Because, while the output is devoid of a communication basis, an expression to be conveyed and has no artistic value, the perception style, psychological orientation and point of view of the receptive subject who establishes the communication raise the output to the value of an object that gives aesthetic pleasure. The receptive subject participates in the process with its level of perception of the object, aesthetic judgment and creativity, and needs the qualities of its own self and visual capacity. With a subjectivist attitude, he takes the artistic value not from the object but from his own psychology, customizes the object with his own emotions and attributes a meaning to the output. What makes the output of AI valuable is not the qualities of the aesthetic object formed by the activity of an artist, but the way of seeing of the receptive subject.
The work of art is a human creation, the creative subject is the artist. The artist produces by adding meaning to his work, and the visible form has a meaning integrity, a unity of form and content. In his work, the artist formally expresses a reality about life in his work. That is, the meaning is not added after making the work, and the meaning exists as a substance in the mind of the artist before the work takes shape. In the work, the expression to be conveyed without communicating with the receptive subject is already present and ready; all this is hidden in the work as a reality and waits to be seen by a competent receptive subject. This is the process of discovery of the work of a spirit that repeats the aesthetic creation formed in the artist's soul. The receptive subject, who judges the output of artificial intelligence, lacks the pleasure and effort of creating, perceiving and recreating the expression level of the artist, that is, the human being. Because understanding and making sense of a work of art requires an effort like the creativity of the artist.
E.H. “We cannot hope to understand a work of art if we do not have the ability to share that sense of liberation and triumph that the artist has over his finished work,” says Gombrich.
We see that while art is realized with the connection of the artist, the work (aesthetics) and the receptive subject (aesthetic interest), the process in the AI product takes place with the connection of data, algorithm, object (sensory) and receptive subject (aesthetic interest).
Human art is the aesthetic relationship between man and objective reality and includes artistic reality. Its source is life, human, society, created by the artist, it focuses on the whole process and is holistic. It is based on the reproduction of the aesthetic values that the artist brings to the object by the receptive subject, the connections and interaction with the aesthetic judgment. It is directly and tightly connected to human practice, society and social life. The work of art is personal, original, and the artist has a compositional knowledge and skill that will require much more than repetitions, different blending and attachment techniques in AI output. In a way that takes its origins from life and focuses on the soul and meaning, art considers beauty as a unity of values. Like artificial intelligence, it focuses not only on the result, but also on the whole process, and this is what we need to distinguish.
Although AI is capable of creativity, this does not mean that it is an artist. Likewise, neither a programmer nor an algorithm is an artist. Because their production is outside of the vital, emotional, spiritual and meaning integrity we have explained above, they produce automatically and with commands. The algorithm does not create the object by considering artistic values, qualities and concerns, that is, the algorithm is not aware that it is dealing with art, so it is not conscious of reality. It scans the database and generates predictive compositions with the ability to fuse, add, subtract, associate and learn.
Artificial intelligence products can only be at the limit of the general definition of art. The creation process is automatic and is not identical with human art with the layers of existence it has; the source, formation and result are realized by a completely different method. Therefore, it is a phenomenon of experimental production that, although it is ostentatious and surprising, is not competent, imitates art as a form, its essence is incomplete, although it gives the impression of art.
Based on the context of reality, the search for meaning, the layers of existence and the social source of life, it would be appropriate to call it "Human Art" because it represents human beings, and "Artificial Intelligence Art" because it is created by codes. Because we cannot see artificial intelligence, which enters art as a separate actor, as if it is making productions of the same value as human beings and art. What makes human art valuable is that it tells its own story and the struggle for existence with the accumulation of thousands of years of creation process.
As AI enters more and more scientific, everyday and artistic and human fields, we have to make the rules, boundaries and definitions of human domain, arrangements, positioning and criticisms that include what human being is, to remain "human". The important thing is to create and place concepts that will preserve the depth, value, originality, creativity and freedom of the human domain. While doing this, we should determine the roles by defining the field that artificial intelligence, that is, the machine can have. For this reason, the categorical distinction was made as "Human Art" and "AI Art" because it was based on codes. To make both the same, to say that both achieve similar goals in different ways, is a disrespectful, unfair approach to art and the artist and should be objected to.
Of course, AI will enable artists to create new and original products through collaborative work as a resource to benefit from. With artificial intelligence in artistic creation, the artist can expand his creativity, get inspired, try new things, and also think of artificial intelligence as a collaboration tool. Even if the artist is involved in the creation process of the products created by this collaboration, even if he has the initiative, the use of AI based on the source codes will bring about discussions.
The approach to artificial intelligence products will also mean the sincerity exam of people. The artist and no one should not escape easily, and try to show stolen ideas or directly as his own work. It should not make an effort to reflect worthless products as if they are valuable.
Deciding whether the output has value and the quality of its connection with the art means reaching the big problem area in art. A wide variety of factors should be taken into account while making an aesthetic interpretation. Knowing who the work belongs to is also a factor that will affect our decision. Interpreting a work that is not clear by whom it was generated may cause exaggeration or vice versa, underestimation and incompleteness. Evaluating an object as artistic and beautiful is relative (apart from reconciliation with assumptions that make aesthetic judgment general and based on common feeling) and is difficult, but this is a mysterious and normal state of art.
Artificial intelligence will be an encouraging and supportive force with its ease not only for artists, but for everyone. In addition, the copyright problem of the entries that make up the database should be solved, and the rights of the artist and everyone else who does not want to be in the database should be respected.
It should never be forgotten that; The importance of painters and painting did not decrease with the invention of photography, the transformation of smart phones into talented cameras did not turn everyone into a photographer, AI cannot turn anyone into miraculous and fantastic artists, nor transfer talents.
While the subject is being discussed, painting is generally focused on because of its popularity. But how do we react when AI produces an image with details and visual quality indistinguishable from a real photograph? Especially when we compare it with documentary photography, the situation will become more complicated. At this stage, the values shaped in our aesthetic, emotional and imaginary world, which we judge the paintings, will not be enough. We will need to ask whether the photograph is based on objective reality, and we will build our judgmental values after the definition of reality. Because, as a document, that photograph is real, it reflects the state of the world while connecting the lived past to the future, it has a place and a story, it is direct, it is a human and social memory and transfers it to other generations. The photograph created by AI has no story, it only depicts unreal scenes with automatic editing, and the composition is created only with the ability to imitate. Such a photograph will not go beyond an image that only arouses technical admiration before the viewer. For this reason, I think that unmanipulated and documentary photography will become more valuable in the future. Because it will never lose its value as a tool that reflects reality and directly reflects events.
Can you consider William Turner's painting "The Slave Ship" separately from the historical, social, reality of the outside world and the dynamics of the artist's inner world? This painting is not just a painting, it is a work that has meanings far beyond the painting. Now let's imagine that a similar picture is generated by artificial intelligence. Even if pictorial values, light and composition are used appropriately, what historical, artistic, cultural, emotional value can it have? In other words, in the background of art, there are stories of life and a context, while artificial art has nothing to tell, it is a storyless phenomenon that is disconnected from the context of reality, as a product of a system under the control of virtual codes, and has no history.
In today's society, communication habits have changed, the world of possibilities has grown, and even magicalized. AI "image generators" give everyone the opportunity to be creative, and thanks to their amazing ability, they make this experience available to millions of people. Even a child who has learned to read and write can accidentally create remarkable products in front of his computer. It does not make anyone who can write keywords to the computer and who does not have artistic personality and creativity an artist and does not include them in art. Millions of people are attracted to this attractive game without age limit and are entertained by its amazing and strange results, as if they have achieved a magical power. It is more accurate to call them "experimental participants". It is a fact that outliers, complex, uncertain, surreal, mystical, imagination-stimulating images attract a lot of attention. Friedrich Schiller and his theory that art is a game come to mind. But in his theory, Schiller meant real art. Besides, art is a much more complex phenomenon than play.
Although the outputs are strange, unencountered, interesting and attractive, as they multiply uncontrollably in the internet environment, they have a high potential to turn into habitual, valueless, artificial, ordinary objects.
It is human beings who will stand against the destructiveness of technology and protect humanity. Being human, despite your shortcomings, is unique. Do we have the human intelligence, virtue, honesty, will, courage and plan to use the future to be a better human being “together” and to create a world based on beauty and equality? While AI becomes human, we never want a role change where people become automatic, ineffective and robotic.
Man interprets and makes sense of life with his art, resists against time, and transfers his relationship with life to the art environment in freedom with his searches and discoveries. Art is formed in reality through "labor" by the artist. All innovations and technological changes should never be allowed to trivialize art and artists. Because Artificial Intelligence lacks the human touch, love, impulses and, in short, a life.
Einstein said, "The criterion of being intelligent is not knowledge but imagination," and reconciling human imagination with intelligence.

In spiritual life some experiences are like a camera obscura, through which light has to enter in order to form an image upon the mind, the image of ineffable intelligibility. Insistence upon explaining and relating the holy to the relative and functional is like lighting a candle in the camera…
… Sensitivity to spiritual meaning is not easily won; it is the fruit of hard, constant devotion, of insistence upon remaining true to a vision. It is “an endless pilgrimage . . . a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell, as if He were waiting to enter our lives. . . . Its essence is not revealed in the way we utter it, but in the soul’s being in accord with what is relevant to God; in the extension of our love to what God may approve, our being carried away by the tide of His thoughts, rising beyond the desolate ken of man’s despair”…
… When Moses recounted to the people the laws of the covenant with God, the people responded: “We will do and we will hear.” This statement was interpreted to mean: In doing we perceive.

Playgrounds are meant for the enjoyment of their users. What, however, if the child finds it a threatening and unsettling place or feature? How does that feel, and what can be done to mitigate against such a child's sensitivities?

♫ Ralph Tresvant - Sensitivity ♫
See you need someone who's their like a gentleman
If anybody can fit the description baby I can
Someone who cares and dares to give himself completely
You got it in me you need a man with sensitivity
what I am saying is that one must be an artist. You must have sensitivity to painting, understand its effect and composition. Those are crucial matters if you do not want to spend your life turning out, without realizing it, a lot of ridiculous pictures, and there are too many of those out there already :-)
