Abstract (es)
En su obra pionera, Abstracción y empatía, Wilhelm Worringer profundizó en las complejidades de algunas obras de arte abstracto y figurativo, afirmando que evocan distintos impulsos en el público, específicamente, los impulsos hacia la abstracción y la empatía. Este artículo afirma la presencia de evidencia empírica que apoya la extensión de los conceptos de Worringer más allá del ámbito de la apreciación del arte al dominio de la creación artística.
En consecuencia, se postula que la abstracción y la empatía sirven como principios fundamentales que guían la producción tanto del arte abstracto como del figurativo.
Esto tiene una importancia particular en el siglo XXI, donde la inteligencia artificial (IA) asume un papel creativo que estaba ausente en la formulación inicial de la teoría de Worringer. Por lo tanto, este artículo postula que la IA alberga inherentemente una predisposición para la generación de arte abstracto, debido a sus orígenes y funcionamiento no vivos e inorgánicos.
Abstract (en)
In his groundbreaking work, Abstraction and Empathy, Wilhelm Worringer delved into the intricacies of various abstract and figurative artworks, contending that they evoke distinct impulses in the human audience—specifically, the urges towards abstraction and empathy. This article asserts the presence of empirical evidence supporting the extension of Worringer’s concepts beyond the realm of art appreciation to the domain of art-making. Consequently, it posits that abstraction and empathy serve as foundational principles guiding the production of both abstract and figurative art. This holds particular significance in the 21st century, where artificial intelligence (AI) assumes a creative role that was absent during Worringer’s initial formulation of his theory. Thus, this paper postulates that AI inherently harbors a predisposition for the generation of abstract art, owing to its non-living and inorganic origins and functioning.

Em seu trabalho pioneiro, Abstração e Empatia, Wilhelm Worringer mergulhou nas complexidades de algumas obras de arte abstratas e figurativas, afirmando que elas evocam impulsos distintos no público, especificamente, impulsos em direção à abstração e à empatia. Este artigo afirma a presença de evidências empíricas que sustentam a extensão dos conceitos de Worringer para além
do âmbito da apreciação artística para o domínio da criação artística. Consequentemente, postula se que a abstração e a empatia servem como princípios fundamentais que orientam a produção tanto da arte abstrata quanto da figurativa. Isso é de particular importância no século 21, onde a inteligência artificial (IA) assume um papel criativo que estava ausente na formulação inicial da teoria de Worringer. Portanto, este artigo postula que a IA abriga inerentemente uma predisposição para a geração de arte abstrata, devido às suas origens e funcionamento não vivos e inorgânicos.
