A place of beauty that touches the heart

Flow Fine Art Gallery, a place of delight,

Where creativity shines, like stars at night,

A haven for artists, to showcase their art,

A place of beauty, that touches the heart.

 

In Leverkusen, a city of charm,

Flow Fine Art Gallery, is a true form,

A space that inspires, and awakens the soul,

Where art is alive, and the spirit is whole.

 

With each stroke of paint, and each brush stroke,

Artists create beauty, that comes to evoke,

Emotions and feelings, that stir deep within,

A connection to the heart, where love begins.

 

In Flow Fine Art Gallery, we find,

A reflection of life, that speaks to the mind,

A journey of discovery, of self and soul,

A place to be, where the heart takes control.

 

So let us celebrate, the beauty of art,

And the magic of Flow Fine Art Gallery’s heart,

A place where creativity flows like a river,

And the beauty of life, is forever delivered.

Artificial Intelligence

The beginning of a new era of possibility.

We asked this question to ChatGPT, a userfriendly software which allows to interact with one of the most advanced artificial intelligences:
 
Why is it necessary for humans to rise above the intellect in times of AI?
 

AI: While AI can be highly effective at processing and analyzing data, it lacks many of the intuitive and emotional capabilities that are essential for human interaction and decision-making. Intuition, arising from higher states of consciousness and a recognition of oneness with the cosmos, represents a unique and valuable aspect of human cognition that cannot be replicated by AI.

You can ask any question to the Artificial Intelligence and get surprisingly logical, informative and accurate responses. Have a look as this might be the first step of some huge development.
