Dancing robots: aesthetic engagement is shaped by stimulus and knowledge cues to human animacy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robots are increasingly shaping the aesthetic preferences of art consumers, influencing how they perceive and engage with artistic works. This development raises various questions: do cues to the humanness of the origin of an artwork or artist influence our aesthetic preferences?.

Methods

Across two experiments, we investigated how the perception and appreciation of dance is influenced by cues to human animacy. We manipulated Agent Form (human-like or robot-like dancer), Belief about Movement Source (human motion capture or computer animation), Source of Choreography (human- or computer-generated), and Belief about Choreography Source (believed to be human- or computer-generated).
