Chaos and Elegance in a Baroque Theme

It only makes sense that, when the machines take over the world, they will adopt the art and sensibilities of the Baroque style established by humans – realism accompanied by the sense of human insignificance confronted in the 17th century.

The chaos of machine domination over humanity will be underscored by the machines’ desire (yes, they will desire) to highlight the most energetic and grandiose genre of human art – where splendor of the divine takes on new meaning as the machines ascend, and the lines between art and digitization blur. Artificial intelligence will wrap itself in a cloak of beauty, always striving to match what only Nature can devise…the search for excellence, and elegance, will be ongoing.

Can the machines achieve the perfection they so avidly seek? Is Nature the true measure of success?

Can you hear the harpsichord in the background?
