Bisa Butler’s Vibrant Quilted Portraits Share Extraordinary Stories of Black Americans

AI Art Only Looks Like Art If You Don’t Care
Years ago, I remember an image online catching my eye. It was two photos, side by side, that purported to be of a perfectly symmetrical face. In the left photo, the left side of the face had been mirrored, and on the right, vice versa. The photo on the left was demonstrably prettier (in conventional terms) than the one on the right, but that was just that sitter. There were many. And whichever version looked less plain depended on the person’s “better side”—so one person might look “perfect” when their right side was repeated, but even less than they originally did with the other side. Artist Alex John Beck had produced the images for a project called "Both Sides Of" to disprove the theory that beauty lies in symmetry. “I think they lack character—beauty is more based on character than an arbitrary data point,” he told Time Magazine in 2014. “Humanity is messy and should remain as such.”
