Contextual Duration Art (CDA) is the creation of neuropsychologist and surrealist painter Dr. Mario Martinez, exploring the horizons of algorithmic intelligence through guided human cognition in collaboration with ChatGPT. 
Rather than treating AI as an author or tool of automation, Contextual Duration Art engages it as a field of resistance. The algorithm proposes. The human evaluates. Meaning emerges only when coherence is negotiated, not granted.
The process follows principles of neuropsychology:
Gestalt before detail
Context as a generator of meaning
Scale shifts instead of force
Attention over explanation
Duration over instant legibility
When the algorithm overreaches, the human intervenes—not to dominate, but to restore ethical ambiguity.
