Why This Topic?
Art is more than just aesthetic beauty — it’s a mirror of human experience, a tool for reflection and a voice for social and political change. From Renaissance masterpieces to AI-generated visuals, art has evolved with humanity, continuously reflecting our values, emotions, and ambitions. In this episode, Filter Feeders dive into the philosophical and practical importance of art throughout time and looks ahead to how new technologies like AI and virtual reality are transforming the artistic landscape.
The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers
— James Baldwin
