The paper presents some results of an experiment conducted in an innovative way through the use of the most popular social network: Facebook. Exploiting the system of “like” and “share” on which this platform is based, thousands of artwork images were submitted to a sample of over 10,000 users worldwide. Through the metrics analysis of users choices, it was observed that specific compositional elements inside the artworks are able to drive the aesthetic preferences of the viewers towards some artworks rather than others. The knowledge of the “responsive” items, that activate the Beauty recognition, allows to predict the possible aesthetic choices of the public. We have defined this phenomenon as Aesthetic Precognition.

Abstract
The paper presents some results of an experiment conducted in an innovative way through the use of the most popular social network: Facebook. Exploiting the system of “like” and “share” on which this platform is based, thousands of artwork images were submitted to a sample of over 10,000 users worldwide. Through the metrics analysis of users choices, it was observed that specific compositional elements inside the artworks are able to drive the aesthetic preferences of the viewers towards some artworks rather than others. The knowledge of the “responsive” items, that activate the Beauty recognition, allows to predict the possible aesthetic choices of the public. We have defined this phenomenon as Aesthetic Precognition.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
