Surrealism and computing

I got  thought running in my mind, about different meaning, or lets say, interpretation of context/stories/text or media — whether it be pictures/movies/sound/audio/video data. Quick googling of the subject resulted, for example,  with these two links:

Multiple Meanings Pictures
Optical Illusions – Double Meanings

Thing is that programming an application that would process a picture… Isn’t that of a small task… Even when thinking of that — it seems a hard process doing.. Thinking and digging even more on the subject — may result with enlightenment on ones life perspective — itself.

We might find out that, on the first place a dogma took its course, as a fact of natural selection. Meaning — was used for one reason or another — and doesn’t even mean what we think it meant, on its initial state.

Surrealism art, usually presents this dilemma. A picture might mean multiple meanings — and processing it can isn’t that straight forward. Surrealist painters painted a picture that might:

  • As said, Mean multiple meanings
  • Seek digging under the current social fabric

Moreover, programming which should be a pinpointed solution and a formula that should be mathematical ‘known’ formula — like 1+1=2 — we might find ourselves programming an application that resulted with an array of possibilities — some that we didn’t even think should or could take place from the input we gave it.

Leading computing into an exotic area — that would combine art and computing. And like a magic solution, could answer and lead to multiple paths down the road.
