Warum faszinieren uns KI-generierte „Spiegel-Bilder“? Unser Wissenschaftler Edward A. Vessel ist dieser Frage gemeinsam mit Kolleg:innen des Ernst Strüngmann Instituts (ESI) und des Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics nachgegangen.

Das Forschungsteam generierte maßgeschneiderte Kunstwerke für Studienteilnehmer:innen und fand heraus, dass diese individuellen Werke als ästhetisch ansprechender bewertet wurden als „fremde“ Bilder. Selbstbezug spielt also eine große Rolle beim Genuss von Kunst!

Mehr Infos zu dieser Studie findet hier: https://www.aesthetics.mpg.de/newsroom/news/news-artikel/article/selbstbezug-macht-kunst-attraktiver.html
