Professor Jennifer Hall is presenting a paper titled:

Towards a Neuroaesthetics of Experience

at the conference BODIES IN MOVEMENT: Intersecting Discourses of Materiality in the Sciences and the Humanities in Edinburgh, UK 28-29 May 2011.

From her abstract:

Connecting neuro-functioning to interactive aesthetics will support my assertion that our kinesthetic participation in artwork breaks down the illusion of sequential experience. I will also argue that interactive aesthetics calls upon dynamic systems to tease out patterns that are found at all levels of human experience. I will discuss the investment in the materiality of being where phenomenology and neuroscience are deployed as a matter of aesthetics, and how they become useful in the critique of action in the contemporary art experience.
