Does AI Rule the Future of Art?

Perspectives from The Artist's Road

Lately, I have been reading about developments in color science, advanced laser projectors and the movie industry. Leading the field are Pixar and Dolby, who together have developed technologies and AI agents to render and project more colors than seen in Nature, onto screens most people don’t have access to yet. They have pushed the boundaries of luminance and saturation, in particular, to create the blackest blacks and the most intense, vibrant colors imaginable for their productions. This is useful for manipulating viewers emotions from scene to scene.

In reaction to that abuse, the brain compensates with heightened sensitivity to colors in complement to that—creating images in the mind which don’t actually ex…
