neuroaesthetics

The word "neuraesthetics"、It was the first time I learned that such a research field existed.。A field that studies the impact of art on the human body.、It seems that it is a subject that has been attracting attention recently.。in those fields、I expected that there would be at least some psychological research.、I never imagined that it would develop so rapidly.。

Image generation by generation AI、The rapid development of sentence generation functions and their applications began to permeate society.、Until then, the government and business world had been watching coldly from a distance.、Even research institutions in the humanities field、Just don't miss it this time、I'm starting to use them all at once。new computer、It seems that it is set from the beginning on mobile terminals etc.、More and more services are starting to be provided to existing PCs.。I was swayed by that sense of speed.、I feel that the gap between people who feel frustrated and unable to keep up is starting to widen.。

Anyway, there's so much information out there.、In comparison, in the case of art, at best, the only thing that can be claimed is copyright infringement caused by generated AI.、I was pessimistic, so、I'm glad to see this kind of research。Everyone involved in the arts、I knew that a love of art would give me the power to seek peace.、Many of these people think they should stay away from politics.、As a result, they had no power to stop the war.。 
Neuroaesthetics is、such a claim、apart from principles、Because we study the effects on human health itself.、Regardless of ideology, friend or foe, etc.、can accept。

most、shooting guns on the battlefield、Even though I knew that living in an air raid shelter day and night in preparation for missile attacks was the worst thing for my body.、millions in reality、If you look at how tens of millions of people are forced to live like this,、What do you care?、But。Still、AI alone is not enough for the world、If art had more social power、It can (may) be a force for peace.。Even if you just think so、I feel like I have more power in my brush when painting.。

That's how a picture is made

“Apple-Twilight” Is it really about to end?

hot、Even though I say it's hot、in the evening、I'm starting to feel like the peak of the heat has passed.。At the same time, walking resumed.。As soon as I started walking last night、A big red moon has risen。It looks huge.、I thought it was a supermoon.。8Apparently it was also a blue moon as it was the second full moon of the month.。Even if it's hot, I still go outside once in a while.。It seems that many people around the world looked up at this moon (did they even see the Indian lunar probe?)。

“Apple-Twilight” is almost in the finishing stage.、I'll take a few days to figure out the details.。It's all about balance。If you draw too much, you may end up ruining it.。

It's my own picture、Even though I'm drawing it the way I want it to be、Is this what I want to draw?、For some reason it's not good enough、I don't feel like that.。difficult to explain、It's a kind of strange feeling、Once you start, a flow will form.、Although the picture looks like this、If the starting position shifts slightly, the picture could be completely different.、As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。

european cities、For example, from the Arc de Triomphe in Paris、There are roads radiating in all directions.、Depending on which path you choose from the center、The scenery at the goal is different。It might be close to something like that。Paris is Paris even if we sometimes take completely opposite paths.、It's not like any other scenery.、It may appear to the viewer as a completely opposite image.。I tried to turn my drawings into such a map.、This road matches this picture.、I choose it intuitively.。stop sometimes、What would it look like on that road?、While imagining、とりあえずゴール近くまでは来た違う風景を見たいならまたスタート地点まで戻るそんな感じで描いています

Divide in values

“New Life No. 5” 2008 Tempera、210×546 (cm) Is that what he was like...
"Shedding" 2007 Tempera、91×182(cm) 

Today is the end of August。While I was thinking that it was just hot,、The Japan Meteorological Agency has announced that it will be hot in September as well.。The city hall is sending out an email today to prevent heat stroke.。This is probably the case everywhere in the Kanto region.、Locally Tottori、Niigata、Yamagata、Mainly on the Sea of ​​Japan side such as Akita、Another extremely hot day is expected today.。

Contaminated water discharged into the ocean from the Fukushima nuclear power plant、Osaka Expo、casino promotion、Needless to say, there is a war in Ukraine in the world.、china vs america,、Conflict over principles and money、global warming、There are sharp conflicts over issues of development, the environment, and the pandemic.。In the end, it's a conflict of values.、It is further divided into smaller pieces.、Each of them is sharply separated like a wall、Instead of a concerted effort to overcome、Force can be used easily。

It's not so much an external matter.、There is a divide in values ​​even in things that are very familiar to us.、Each attacks the other with a disturbingly strong expression.。For example, if you look at “X” (formerly “Twitter”), etc.、No attempt was made to understand the background or true intentions of the other side's opinions.、It's a parade of abusive language。I think this may be more so because the sentences are short (though this creates a new problem of declining language skills).、Above all, before you press the send button、Try to reflect on your feelings again (as calmly as possible)、Isn't it because you don't have the time to do that?。ironically、Ever since I got my watch、Modern people have “lost time”。

What is “values”?、It also refers to the “rank of value” within oneself.。The fact that the ranking differs depending on the person、Maybe everyone can tolerate it。But、For example, it is not good to hurt others.、That is before values.、I think it is a cultural heritage of human history.。When a division occurs near that point,、Not only our values, but our very “view of humanity” will be shaken.。
 Value personal values、That is the trend of the times.、I think in a sense it is a historical necessity.、in the current situation、It seems as if values ​​are being torn apart.、Does it mean that the “humans” we have known up until now will no longer be human?、Molt into new skin like reptiles and amphibians、I think it may be time for that kind of change (evolution?)。That kind of feeling、I tried drawing it once.。
