Any "aesthetic phenomena" or for that matter anything else we
experience is described by the known laws of physics which tells you
what matters is the way information is processed.
So, I'm not conviced there really exists a well defined problem here
with consciousness. We're told by philosphers that there is a problem
and for a long time I believed there was a problem but I've recently
come to the conclusion that simply identifying computational states
with experiences solves the problem.

Why would the computational state of your brain be associated with any kind
of aesthetic phenomena though? That's Explanatory Gap. The Hard Problem is
really about "why is there any such thing as aesthetic phenomena?"
