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.。

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”?、自分の中での「価値の順位」のことでもあります。人によってその順位に違いがあること自体は、たぶん誰もが容認できるでしょう。But、たとえば人を傷つけることはよくない、なとということは価値観以前の、人類史的な文化遺産だろうと思っています。それに近い部分に分断が起きてくると、価値観どころか “人間観” そのものが揺らいでしまいます。
　個人の価値観を大事にする、ということは時代の流れであり、ある意味で歴史の必然でもあると思いますが、現状での、価値観が裂けていくかのような様相は、これまでの“人間” が人間でなくなるというか、爬虫類や両生類のように新しいものへ脱皮する、そういう変化（進化？）の時なのかもしれないと思っています。そういう想いを、一度絵にしてみたことがあります。
