I'm an artist, and my best friend is a nurse who works with geriatric patients. I've often told her I sometimes wish my life's work served humanity as directly as hers does. When i heard the bit about how art in hospital wards makes the patients feel a little better, it reminded me that we are both serving humanity in two, very complementary, ways. Thank you for making this wonderful video.

[@bananacat9139]

That's a beautiful way to see life, like casting two different colored light to the world and making it much more beautiful.

[@shawnscientifica6689]

as an engineer I am very very very aware of the importance of aesthetics in my work. I would say, now that you've acquired this information it is your duty to try to work to get those hospital wards more beautiful. The results of those studies, if you read them, were not small. They were immensely significant. Statues, wall art, natural beauty such as flowers etc and even the colors of walls all are known to reduce pain and hospital stays somehow aiding in our psychological wellness and in healing speed. I hope you can use this to start a movement, no movement is small. A hurricane often begins with a gentle breeze.

@MARES OF TRACE - The emergency department of Cape Cod Hospital has many beautiful, large oceanscapes by a single great artist.

Makes sense, for years I worked as a butcher. The work was pretty easy but I was slowly becoming more and more depressed. Then I went back to school for horticulture and landed a job running a greenhouse for a local wholesale floral distribution center. The work is A LOT harder but I noticed I wasn't as depressed anymore. Probably because I was surrounded by beautiful flowers and ornamental trees. Which getting huge discounts on for being a worker... I'd then bring home loads of them a Fiddle Fig tree here... an orchid there... etc etc now my house is full of precious little flora that every time I look at I smile.

"Beauty is nothing tangible, it only exists in our heads as a pleasant feeling." - This is the best definition of beauty I have ever known

[@arigatoespacialsuperadmiti7316]

Me amount of stuff that, objetively does not exist, but it does as a human construct of our brain and our society building it into a concept with name and definition, such as colors (wich aren't much as light waves) or experiences.

[@brauljo]

It's more of a descriptor than a definition.

[@obafemisoyoye7470]

Not true. Beauty is more than just a feeling in our heads. It's a call to what we are inside. An infinite being with embedded completeness (in Christ Jesus). That completeness (or the observation of the reality of the completeness) is what pirsig in zen and the art of motorcycle (a book) calls quality. I call it spirit. Beauty is just deeper than you think. Yes it is also a feeling in your head but its more than that.

"Beauty meets an inherent need for meaningful information." 💟 finally, I know why

[@toothlessblue]

When you mentioned "eye tracking software shows people keep focusing on details and ornaments of architecture," I started to notice myself doing it; interesting.

[@mrcreavill]

Sidenote: It is mostly due to moving lines and dots appearing on the "pretty" building - at least in this particular case. Our eyes tend to be attracted by movement. It has an evolutionary basis as it helps to detect animals in the wilderness. My guess is that folks in Kurzgesagt used this phenomenon to let you experience their argument about beauty in just a few seconds. This feeling makes you remember their argument and video for longer. And it really is super clever when you think about it! ;) Well, the amount of work needed for these videos amazes me every time I see them. Keep it up (but with birds, please)!

[@pepsidoggidy1969]

The eye tracking software was developped for marketing purposes. When you want to sell a product, the design will define if it is visible enough amongst others. You can rent a "fake market/lab research" where someone is asked to wear the eye-tracking device, and it will help to define if your product is visually catchy enough. If the person didnt look at your product at all you might consider redesigning it

This honestly is one of my favourite videos you guys have made. I've quite recently finally connected the dots. The circumstances on my life have been very good. I won't go too much into detail but in general I have everything I need. And a lot of things I want. But I still feel really depressed for some reason. I will be soon moving out of my apartment and one idea where I would move would be my summer cottage, I had other options but they were much more expensive so I rather did not take them. So I went there for a week to prepare for me to move in and testing how feasible is living there. I enjoyed the time there, I was much less comfortable there yeah since it lacks most modern comforts. But I was happy there. Once I returned to my dull concrete box of a apartment I immediately felt my mood drop. It was like a train hit me. A few days later i thought about it and realised most likely it's the environment that's causing this. At that moment I realized, no matter how much modern comforts I have no matter how much material belongings I have, no matter how much money I have I will never have a happy life if I live in a ugly environment.

[@hugomaritz692]

As a professional artist I've given this a fair amount of thought. Beauty is the process of creating a discernable pattern and then breaking that pattern but only far enough to create tension between opposites. The more you can break the pattern without actually breaking the overall pattern the better you are at it. In the end no matter what kind of art it is the final product has to interact with itself in such a way that nothing can be added or taken away without ruining the harmony inside the work. The harmony is the dynamic effect of opposites creating tensions in ways that go round and round. Music exists in time. Painting in a space. Literature in patterns of meaning. They all depend on composition. It has to do with how our brains work, probably because of the kind of patterns we find in nature which are similar to this in effect. I'm sure that wasn't very helpful, sorry I'm not a writer. I think it's a coincidental side effect of our massive ability for pattern recognition.

[@dancingsocrates9491]

I thought that was very well-described. It works this way in dance, too. Dance forms tend to come from repetitive practical tasks (dances based around picking fruit, for example), but what makes it a dance rather than a task is the variation within that original theme that inspired it.

[@Jasper-nk5fo]

I think you have captured this -dare I say - beautifully. Without the break in the pattern, there is nothing to draw our attention but if there is no discernible pattern at all we are just left confused and frustrated.

It's hard to discuss beauty itself without leaving the visual realm, but Kurzgesagt did it in this video.

Kurzgesagt never change, never leave. Yours are the most pleasant educational videos. Sometimes the information is lacking, but that's a boon, since it's meant to inform about general subjects, and inspire curiosity. And despite the slow general pace, you can feel the deep level of understanding, effort, and informed research that goes into it. It has the feel of a mastered subject being explained on simple terms. I love them so much, I always gush to people about the year 12,018, and you gave me a term for the philosophy I had come to on my own but didn't know it, optimistic nihilism. That's why I say, never stop, never compromise. I'm a fledgling educator, and when I have the means I intend to donate and contribute to you whole-heartedly to give back for what you've given me, and inspire my students to love knowledge, truth, and learning.

The subjective aspect of beauty is in meaning. If you can relate to something that makes it subjectively beautiful. And then there's more intersubjective stuff like symmetry and such. But both modes are needed for genuine beauty. Falling in love is a combination of both. Listening to music that is well arranged while also relating with the lyrics on a deeply emotional level is also a moment of beauty. That is also a combination of both modes.
