Скачать или смотреть Art as Cognition: How Gist Reframes the Aesthetic Experience as Conversation

A conversation with author Dena Shottenkirk & Prof. Nicholas Whittaker

Join Associate Professor of Philosophy Dena Shottenkirk and Professor Nicholas Whittaker (Wesleyan University) as they discuss Shottenkirk’s Art as Cognition. The book argues that a satisfactory account of the aesthetic experience would be derived from the perceptual experiences of both artist and viewer. It examines recent findings in visual science that emphasize low-level features, such as texture, illumination, color, shape, movement, etc., within the framework of gist perception. Lastly, the book concludes with a description of how the perceptual and cognitive processes of artist and viewer interact with curatorial/critical testimony to construct the artwork’s meaning.
