I think that appreciation of beauty, in art, music etc. is just a glitch in the brain's compression algorithm. It tends to reward novel patterns which are also familiar, i.e., compressible in regards to learned information. For example, music is boring when it's totally compressible repetitive pattern, or when it's too novel or random and thus not compressible.
