EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE VISUAL ARTS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY

Human thinking first appeared through visual art. From the early cave man paintings to this modern-day AI-generated image and deep learning algorithms, the world has developed. Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted the visual arts in various ways, and it has influenced more and more as a transformative force in many fields. Through this study, the complex link between artificial intelligence and the visual arts is explained by analyzing the effects, the outcomes, and the future paths. The study explores how artificial intelligence has transformed the production, interpretation, and consumption of art. It also shows how AI algorithms are employed by artists to generate imagery. This study, along with the analysis of surveys, experimental initiatives, and different artworks, explains the impact of artificial intelligence in the world of visual arts. It also tells how artificial intelligence has swayed historical mythology and its sociocultural ramifications. With an interdisciplinary approach, this study integrates the understanding of computer science, art history, and cultural studies and offers a subtle analysis of the profound impact of AI on the visual arts. Finally, this comprehensive study provides an insight on how artificial intelligence has influenced and impacted the visual arts and about the evolutionary technological potential of it in the future by providing a deeper and better understanding of the growing complex link between creativity and technology in modern art practices.

BIOLOGY OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR: ITS ESSENTIAL ASPECTS

In terms of Biology humans are just another species on this planet, but when it comes to explaining the biology of the context of Human behavior, it really becomes very tough. Humans have the physiology and anatomy similar to that of a cave man, yet the level of our intelligence has far evolved in comparison to the extent that the cave man anatomy and physiology becomes inadequate to serve to the needs of certain aspects of human intelligence of modern times which essentially functions beyond the level of just survival (for example in animals), and is capable of performing such advanced functions as retaining a huge past memory and can anticipate a future situation. This in many ways has made us far superior to the animal world, yet many of us get messed up in handling our intelligence properly and either develop chronic stress, indulge in violence or mishandle the adolescence related issues of our teenagers. Biologically speaking human behavior is determined largely by how our brains are shaped by developmental and evolutionary processes, at the heart of which lies the genetic and epigenetic changes and environmental impact. Because at any critical moment brains are to decide about any bit of a behavior, therefore the knowledge of underlying brain anatomy and physiology is important. This article is about explaining how biology makes a sense to human behavior and is essentially focused on its three important aspects, i.e. adolescence, chronic stress and violence, which are described in detail in the following paragraphs.

Finding Marlene Dietrich: An Object Lesson

Finding Marlene Dietrich: An Object Lesson Sandra Spanier From the outset of our work on Volume 5 of the Cambridge Edition of The Letters of Ernest Hemingway (spanning 1932-May 1934), there was one image I knew we had to include among our illustrations: the Ernest Hemingway paper doll. The full-page color illustration by Constantin Alajálov appeared in the March 1934 issue of Vanity Fair, captioned “Ernest Hemingway, America’s own literary cave man; hard-drinking, hard-fighting, hard-loving--all for art’s sake.” The central figure of Hemingway sporting a leopard-skin loincloth (“ERNIE, THE NEANDERTHAL MAN”) is flanked by costumes capturing his various public personae: wounded veteran of war, wine-guzzling writer of the “Lost Generation,” big game fisherman, and bull-fight aficionado. The caricature of Hemingway and his wardrobe of guises perfectly captures his multi-faceted nature—these facets and many others are revealed in his letters of this period. What I had not fully realized before poring through its pages is how perfectly the magazine itself emblematizes Hemingway’s prominent place in the context of his times. The March 1934 Vanity Fair presents a freeze-frame view of twentieth-century history and culture in the making. As I noted in my General Editor’s Introduction to Volume 5 of the Letters, the issue also features articles about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first presidential term, the lifting of the U.S. ban on James Joyce’s Ulysses, a color reproduction of a painting by Pablo Picasso (No. 10 in Vanity Fair’s Series of Modern Painters), and photo portraits by Edward Steichen of such celebrated figures as Sinclair Lewis (who in 1930 became the first U.S. Nobel Laureate in Literature), journalist Dorothy Thompson, actress Mary Pickford, and German-born singer and screen star Marlene Dietrich (“the Teuton siren”). The web of connections to Hemingway is striking. He knew Joyce, Picasso, and Lewis, and would famously become a close friend of Dietrich. In fact, I wrote: [End Page 93] Shortly after the issue of Vanity Fair with his paper doll caricature appeared on newsstands, Hemingway would meet Marlene Dietrich aboard the S.S. Paris as he returned from an African safari, marking the start of what would become a platonic but passionate lifelong friendship and correspondence. Although Dietrich eluded the press when the ship docked in New York on 3 April 1934, Hemingway’s return was chronicled in the New York papers. The news photos show him grinning broadly, leaning against the ship’s rail, his wife, Pauline, at his side. That Hemingway and Dietrich would meet aboard a luxury liner crossing the Atlantic at the same time they were featured in the same issue of Vanity Fair is a wonderful story. Except it is not true. I discovered this, to my great chagrin, in the month after Volume 5 was published in June 2020. The 19th Biennial International Hemingway Conference, to be held in Wyoming and Montana in July 2020, was to have featured a plenary session focusing on the latest volume of the Letters. The session would be moderated by Hemingway Letters Project Associate Editor Verna Kale with presentations by Miriam B. Mandel and me as Volume 5 co-editors, and by graduate research assistant Katie Warczak, a Ph.D. candidate at Penn State. Then came Covid-19, and the conference had to be postponed. We were invited to present a Letters webinar as one of three in the Hemingway Society’s first-ever webinar series, “Houseguest: Hemingway.” On 21 July, Hemingway’s birthday, I received an email query from a scholar who had watched our webinar three days earlier. He was polishing a paper he planned to submit for publication about the Hemingway-Dietrich relationship, and one detail in my presentation had stood out. His own research indicated that the two met in 1934 aboard the Ile de France, not the Paris. He cited his sources for the Ile de France: Hemingway biographers Carlos Baker and Bernice Kert, friend A.E. Hotchner, and Dietrich biographer Steven Bach. Only James R. Mellow, in Hemingway: A Life Without Consequences, identified the passenger liner as the Paris, he said. (One could also...

A man by Plato and Sophocles: the experience of comparative analysis

Constitutive aspects of two ways of cognition are clarified: Apollonian way with its synthetic view of the world, that expressed in Plato’s myth of cave and Dionysian way with its tragic self-cognition and attitude to the world, that expressed in Sophocles’ Oedipusology. For implementation of comparative analysis the author defines the key formal and informative aspects, regarding which we can compare man of cave by Plato and Oedipus by Sophocles. Showed, that the first conceptual sign is understanding of fundamental incompleteness of human existence. Grasped that the second sign is a condition of total ignorance with some psychological and existential trials: being on the bottom of the cave by Plato and being of Oedipus in Corinth by Sophocles. Clarified that the third sign of comparative analysis is transforming conditions with pain, torture, anger, fear etc. A cave man realizes that subjects in new view are different from previous view. Oedipus has in this case some doubts, he goes to Delphi, then he runs to Thebes and comes to grip with Sphinx. Showed, that the fourth sign of comparative analysis is a character of opening of wisdom: a cave man carries linear sequential climbing from empirical knowledge to rational knowledge, from rational knowledge to speculative knowledge, and Oedipus carries by discrete way from esoteric knowledge to knowledge-power, from knowledge-power to knowledge-of-himself. Grasped that the fifth sign of comparative analysis is a condition after cognition of wisdom: a cave man comes back to the cave, tries to save other people and meets his destiny as violent death, in opposite of this Oedipus leaves Thebes forever, disappears mystically and comes spiritual patron of Athens.

Cancer: A Prehistoric Disease Still a Threat to the Modern Man

Copyright: © 2013 Woldemeskel M. This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Cancer is a general term used to denote malignant neoplasms in humans and animals that if untreated often end up with fatal metastasis. The term “cancer” originated from the word “crab” (karkinos) applied to malignant tumors by the ancient Greeks. It is adopted by the Romans (Latin cancer means crab) and is still in use in the contemporary scientific literature. The most ancient records dated from the paleopathological evidences indicate the existence of cancer in dinosaurs of the Mesozoic and in prehistoric cave man and his animals in the remote past. Later in human history, it was known that Greek and Roman physicians were well acquainted with the different types of malignant diseases specific to each organ [1].

POLA OKUPASI GUA KIDANG, JELAJAH RUANG DAN WAKTU: SUATU HIPOTESIS

Kidang cave in the karst region Todanan, Blora, Central Java is a cave complex which consists of two caves. Archaeological findings show intensively inhabited this cave for a long time. Evidence of activity traces left behind in the form of artifacts, ekofak, features, skeleton (grave), and a fireplace. Pulling from landuse caves man and cave dwellers Kidang roaming in search of food sources and raw materials for tools, encouraging the cultural continuity with Pleistocene sites. Geological and archaeological data shed some light on the Kidang cave man roaming in the span of space and time with Pleistocene sites. A hypothesis of continuity between Pleistocene sites with Kidang cave will be formulated based on geo archaeological study.

Contextual issues in Paleoindian repatriation

Judge John Jelderks found that Kennewick Man cannot be defined as Native American under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. A recent amicus brief in the legal case regarding repatriation of materials from Spirit Cave, Nevada, suggests that the Kennewick case should be used as legal precedent, and that the remains of Spirit Cave Man are also not Native American. We suggest that a precedent in cases of Paleoindian human remains is inappropriate and unnecessary. We provide bioarchaeological, human variation, archaeological, social, and cultural contexts of the Spirit Cave Man remains. These contexts indicate that this case, and likely all of the few Paleoindian cases, is unique. Determinations of repatriation of Paleoindians should be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Comparaison de l'expression de certains caractères crâniens sur les hominidés chinois du Pléistocène récent et de l'Holocène (grotte supérieure de Zhoukoudian, sites de Longxian et de Yanqing)

The human remains recovered from “Grotte supérieure de Zhoukoudian” are the best-preserved Late Pleistocene human fossils in East Asia. For decades, as the representative of the Late Pleistocene human in East Asia, the Upper Cave skulls have been playing important role in the research of origins of modern Mongoloids and American Indians. With the advance of the origin and evolution of modern humans, more attention has been paid to the details and the mechanisms for the late Pleistocene human evolution and the formation of modern human populations. Both the origin and diversification of modern humans have been stressed. Some studies further trigger the debaters on the Upper Cave Man concerning its evolutionary level and its role in the formation of modern human populations in East Asia. To further explore these problems, we examined and compared 12 non-metric features on the 3 Late Pleistocene Upper Cave skulls and 162 Holocene individuals earthed from two archaeological sites of North China (Longxian and Yanqing). Our results indicate that 8 on the 12 features have different expression patterns between Upper Cave Man and recent Chinese leading the authors to believe that more primitive expressions appeared on the Upper Cave Man than on recent Chinese populations. Based on these findings, some problems on the intragroup variation in Late Pleistocene and Holocene populations are discussed.

It never occurred to me that walking shorts were an invention. Whenever I ponder the provenance of ramblers’ clothing I usually conclude that shorts have just sort of evolved from a longer, tweedier item of walkers’ leg wear. But then, until recently, I had never heard of Millican Dalton, aka the Cave Man of Borrowdale, who gave up a career in insurance to live for 50 years in a grotto in the Lake District where he smoked Woodbines, drank coffee and invented walking shorts.

Gordon Creek Woman Meets Spirit Cave Man: A Response to Comment by Owsley and Jantz

Owsley and Jantz (2001) allege that we (Swedlund and Anderson 1999) misunderstand and misrepresent the events surrounding the controversy over Kennewick Man, and that we misconstrue statements they have made regarding Spirit Cave Man. They then move to their own analysis of Gordon Creek Woman to demonstrate the value of their morphometric techniques in addressing questions of biological affinity. In this reply we clarify and amplify our position on the key issues on which they challenge us, and we evaluate their morphometric analysis of Gordon Creek Woman. To our previous call for bioarchaeologists to more explicitly acknowledge the political environment in which questions of biological affinity currently arise, we add our concern that the methodologies used have their own set of problems and limitations.
