2nd International Workshop on
Multimodal Affect and Aesthetic Experience
Montreal, Canada
October, 2021
Satelite event of ICMI 2021, the 23rd ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction
MAAE 2021
The term “aesthetic experience” corresponds to the inner state of a person exposed to form and content of artistic objects. Exploring certain aesthetic values of artistic objects, indoor and outdoor spaces, urban areas, and modern interactive technology is essential to improve social behaviour, quality of life, and health of humans in the long term.
Moreover, quantifying and interpreting the aesthetic experience of people in different contexts can contribute towards (a) creating art and (b) better understanding people’s affective reactions to aesthetic stimuli. Focusing on different types of artistic content, such as movies, music, urban art, ancient artwork, and modern interactive technology, the goal of this workshop is to enhance the interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers coming from the following domain: affective computing, aesthetics, human-robot/computer interaction, and digital archaeology and art.
