Life is a smiling poem to explore the depth of joy. But the scripts we learn from the cultural theater crafted from our experiences, determines how we respond to gifts of abundance and invitations for disillusionments.
The Harlequin dances comedy to distract adversity. But the eyes cannot fool terrains of anguish and the smile cannot weave happiness from a fabric of despondence. Yet, when agency intervenes courageously with fate, destiny is molded to engage auspicious faith in our journey and invincibility in our soul.

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.
