It’s both fascinating and unsettling to realize that in a world flooded with images, we’ve lost the ability to truly see. Interesting experiment! Reminds me of Foucault’s text on Las Meninas.

Python and R code editing works flawlessly here! 📊📈📉

This is fascinating! I wonder if one could do the same for visual art patterns in art history.
