Since all humans alive today have undergone the sum total of all human evolution, and are the ultimate creation of millions of years of evolution, it makes sense that the kinds of things we find "artistically pleasing" (both visually and thru sound) could have many patterns that apply to reality in deeper ways than any of us know, and so letting AI use art as it's inspiration for using those patterns in it's search for knew knowledge seems like a good idea. Also there are also certain aspects of physical geometric relationships and even sound relationships that would not be able to be conveyed to an AI by any other means than thru art and music. So definitely using art to inspire science is a good approach. Even the great Physicists throughout history have often appreciated how there is indeed beauty in the mathematical symmetries and relationships exhibited in the mathematics of nature, and so there is definitely a connection even if not quite tangible nor describable by man.
