Mar 10 Cognitive Conversations: The Artist’s Perspective

Public programme, The Neuroscience, Opening Programme

PUBLIC PROGRAMME ESSAY #3

An essay exploring artistic practice investigating the impact of the digital age on perception. The narrative evolved from my observations of Cognitive Sensations, an event consisting of a series of presentations by a multi-disciplined panel, a participatory artwork called The Artist’s Presence (2018), and a Q&A session. This essay will seek to represent some of the issues we addressed, using examples of artistic practice to illustrate the conversations that artists can bring to the great debate surrounding screen culture.
