[Author-signed book] Kenjiro Okazaki, "The Discovery of Art: Living Conditions in the AI Era"

The art discovered now, the ancient art of dialectic, the meaning of living well. Kenjiro Okazaki's latest thinking, a "book of hope" confronting AI doomsday scenarios. Stumbling over AI, and making AI stumble—a tense dialogue, a much-anticipated new work.

In today's world, it has become commonplace to converse with AI daily and create things together. However, conversations with AI sometimes proceed too smoothly, leading to a "wall-bouncing" situation. How can creative dialogue between a user and AI be possible? —Here, a question arises about the wellspring of creation and dialogue.

From a re-examination of notation theory in his previous work "The Design of Art," to the ancient Greek concept of "ethos" and dialectics, "Oedipus Rex," and even the "runout groove" etched into Beatles records... Thinking that began with interactions with AI travels through wisdom and art from all times and places, leading to the art of generation = recall = discovery.

Approximately 20 years after "The Design of Art." What are the roots of creation and dialogue that Kenjiro Okazaki questions in the age of AI? A book of full of surprises and stumbles, released by an author who has traversed between creation and criticism! (From publisher's website)
