The conference

Sensorial Interference

The immaterial and intangible character of light, colour and movement forms the starting point of Nicky Assmann's spatial installations, in which she tries to heightens the perception. In her talk she will present an overview of her art projects showing how she combines artistic, scientific and cinematographic knowledge in experiments with physical processes aimed at sensorial interference. Set against the backdrop of our visual culture, where the perception of reality increasingly occurs in the virtual domain, she returns to the physical foundations of seeing in which the embodied experience is central.
