The Inside Scoop: People’s Intuitive Reactions to Famous Art
October 22, 5:30-6:30 PM
Ever wonder what a person’s actual experience is when they are standing before a work of art? It’s time to get the “inside scoop.” Prepare yourself for the fascinating results from the largest study ever done involving eye tracking and art – plus facial coding, to learn precisely not only where people look, but also how they feel about what they’re seeing. This lecture draws on insights gathered across the mediums of painting, photography, sculpture, and ready-made installations from the Renaissance to the latest contemporary works.
