The interdisciplinary symposium "The art of experiencing" (Dutch: De kunst van het ervaren) has been organized in collaboration between the University of Groningen and That Bolwerck Art and Thoughts (Dutch: Dat Bolwerck) in honor of the farewell of Vincent Peppelenbosch.
Whether emotion, rapture, alienation, or disruption, art evokes reactions in one's body and interaction with emotions. The symposium explored how art moves something in the spectator through a series of lectures and by active participation in data collection for presentation purposes.
The research team empirically measured the experiences of participants towards selected artworks of the exhibition "You are all stardust". Preliminary visualization of the data collected has been addressed in a plenary discussion, resulting in a thought-provoking conversation between art lovers, experts, and academics.
The Experience Dashboard below contains all the responses given to our questionnaires about the experience of different artworks by Harry Knopperts and Jasper Griepink.
