Die Mediation der Sinne verbindet Aussenwelt mit persönlichen Erfahrungen und ermöglicht so eine Kommunikation ohne langwierige Erklärungen. Alle Wahrnehmungen audiovisoeller Medien sind mit den Sinnen und Gefühlen verbunden. Wie nähern sich Künstler den menschlichen Sinnen an, wie arbeiten sie mit ihnen, wie stellen sie sie dar? Was würde einen Forscher daran interessieren, was ist hier konzeptuell, ästhetisch, sinnlich möglich? Das Symposium umkreist die Beschäftigung mit unseren Sinnen und wie mit ihnen in Animation, Experimentalfilm und Medienkunst gearbeitet wird.
Am 7. und 8.3.2015 ab 10:30 sprechen die internationalen Vortagenden (GB, US, HUN, HR, CAN, AUT, GER) zum Thema Sense/Sensuality im Raum D/quartier21, wobei Pierre Hébert (CAN) seine Installation im Asifakeil persönlich präsentieren und mit einer Live-Animation-Performance auftreten wird.
