Symposium

Moving Art

Psychological  and  Philosophical  Explorations

Art  moves  us  by  eliciting  intense  experiences  that  go  beyond  reflection  and  formal  language.  It  unfolds  in  the  dimension  of  the  pre-reflective,  which  in  philosophy  and  psychology  has  been  described  as  the  origin  of  all  consciousness  and  reflective  thinking.  Basing  aesthetic  experience  on  our  pre-reflective,  that  is  our  affective,  bodily,  and  moving  being  leads  to  an  exploration  of  the  impact  of  art  at  the  level  of  sensation,  pulsation,  rhythm,  and  gesture.  At  this  symposium  we  question  how  art  can  affect  us  in  terms  of  empathy,  rhythm,  and  living  presence;  diaphanous  forces  of  sensation  immanent  to  both  our  everyday  experience  and  experiences  with  art.
