The editorial series Sinapsi [synapses] collects texts published in the journal Nodes since its foundation, as well as unpublished content. It delivers different writing forms: essays, interviews, scientific articles and of wide circulation.
The intention is to make accessible to readers, on the one hand, contents that are no longer available and, on the other hand, topics and writing never published before.
 
Abstract Vol. 2
Several studies reported that, together with low-level features, high-level features of an artwork such as context, cultural beliefs and expectations can modulate aesthetic appreciation.
Recent studies investigated the role of authorship as a factor that can influence aesthetic appreciation. Among these, some have compared the response to human vs. artificial intelligence or computer-made artworks, reporting evidence of a negative bias towards the latter.
In the current era, in which artificial intelligence is increasingly present in our lives, this topic appears to be of great interest and this article attempts to contribute to the study of this phenomenon by focusing on two main aspects: a) the role of the artist and authorship in the history of art; b) the prejudice about artificial intelligence creating works of art. The article also discusses some recent neuroscientific studies, attempting to outline a new perspective for art research.
