“We live in an era when the borders between human action and human made technical machines action are being vanished.” Zofia Lissa
In last blog we discussed transformation of cognitive process at moment of creating art work (i.e. composition). Accepting a computer as an active participant (as a “composer”) in a process of composing has shaken settled opinion about inspiration or artistic fantasy.
If there is a situation in which the energy no longer goes only in one direction – form man to machine – but the opposite – from machine to man, then we can speak about the effect of reversible coupling (cybernetic system).
What is even more interesting is a fact that computers work only by scientific principles unlike so called “artistic inspiration”. This is the fact that bothers many aesthetes and musical theorists.
From this point of view, computers break the myth about non-coupling connection between imagination (fantasy, creation) and strict scientific logic. As we already claimed in some of previous blogs, it is very certain that nowadays computers can compose music in the same way as human.
Now, we have another question that needs to be answered: do science and inspiration both have the same inner logic?
