Aesthetic discovery

You already have your own judgment about beauty.
No one ever helped you see its structure.

Something catches you — a room, an object, a sheet of wrapping paper. Your body answers before language does. The feeling is a firefly: one flash, then gone.

KANSEI tries to do one small thing: help you get quiet for five minutes and listen to what those fireflies are trying to say.

32 everyday scenes, no right answers. Choice by choice, an outline comes into focus: so this is what I've liked all along. At the end you get a complete aesthetic profile, colors to type to icons, precise enough to hand straight to an AI.

That feeling you could never pin down becomes a set of aesthetic rules AI can execute. Your taste, finally in a form AI can read.
