We conduct research in pop-up labs designed around the iMEMA model to provide valuable insights that will help sharpen the scientific knowledge about what art means to people.
The PIPUL series investigates an all-around exploration of what ‘experiencing art’ entails through the application of novel insights about meaning-making (semiotic processes) from social sciences and humanities and state-of-the-art measurement technology.

A symposium on the experience of art has been organized at Dat Bolwerck (Zutphen, the Netherlands). Physiological, behavioral, and subjective measurements have been recorded during the day. The results of people's reactions to art were discussed.
This project investigated how the video installation "Gender Monologues" by Diana Blok evoked physiological and behavioral patterns of activity in visitors of Dat Bolwerck (Zutphen, the Netherlands). Participants also filled in questionnaires as subjective reportage of their bodily sensations, emotions, and thoughts concerning the installation.
Before and after the screening of the film, visitors at CineNoord (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) reported their feelings against social injustice, institutional racism, and police brutality. This project was in collaboration with Skyline Foundation.
An interdisciplinary methodology was used at the art festival Noorderzon (Groningen, The Netherlands) to measure the interaction between people and artworks.
