[Ailist] AI - Personal Retreat Design an established business strategy

[Sue Hammond]

Cathy Royal did her dissertation on re imagining one's image in The 
Fractal Initiative. She focused on black women, using AI to do this. 
Even today when you scan a magazine stand, you see few images of black 
women. So imagine if you saw the world 'see' beauty as only thin white 
women and how that would effect your self image. Cathy graduated from 
Fielding and I'm sure her dissertation is available from the 
dissertation services based in Michigan. It is well worth reading if you 
have an interest in this area. It was certainly ground breaking work 
back in1997, which is the year I believe she graduated.
