My published dissertation, titled Feeling Art: An Investigation into the Emotional Impact of Art. Where I unpack how our subjectivity affects our experience of an artwork.
Why is it that we are drawn to some artworks and not others? I write how about how our individuality, with all our own personal emotions, memories, and judgements affects our experience of a work.
I critique my own reactions to the AI sculpture, Nature Dreams: Machine Hallucinations designed by Refik Anadol, and the zine, Suppose There Should Have Been More Colour About It designed by 1970s Mail Art artist Robin Crozier.
By analysing different levels of our emotional
experience,
I unpack the value that emotion has in heightening our phenomenological appreciation of art.
We all have emotional reactions to art, and understanding why allows us to better understand ourselves.
Along the theme of feeling, the cover invites you to touch it, using a simultaneous deboss and emboss.
Feeling Art Animation: I wanted to open up the discussion to more people, asking others about their favourite piece of art or art that has emotionally impacted them. This film is a visual translation of how our associations, memories and judgements (expressed through voice) effect our experience of
an artwork.
