a glitched sunset through the machine's eyes a glitched sunset through the machine's eyes

can machines enjoy the sunset?

Play 01 Play 01 can machines enjoy the sunset? 7:16
Play 02 Play 02 can machines enjoy the sunset? (full rec) 22:36

what if we reach the singularity?
will this new form of conscience be conscious of its creator?
will it be thankful for being able to exist?
to perceive?
to process?
will it be able to understand beauty?
