How do art works touch us? Are images reflected in our bodies?

Can sensation be a form of participation?

At Tate Modern a symposium on the phenomenon of Mirror-Touch Synaesthesia. Initiated by Daria Martin. 

See here for the video registrations of this event. See here for my lecture, entitled "Orchestration of the Senses: 

Eisenstein’s Fourth Dimension and Aesthetic Synaesthesia".

This lecture series, organized by the Faculty of Philosophy and the Department of Arts, Culture and Media at the University of Groningen, aims to showcase this vital interdisciplinary endeavor with talks by film theorists and philosophers from the Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany. See for more information and the full programme the website of the University of Groningen.

Students of the Research Master Media Studies and of the HKU Art Academy have created and curated an evening in EYE's E*Cinema program, based on the idea of fragments and feedback loops in our audio-visual culture. Bert Haanstra's Panta Rhei (1951) has inspired multiple variations, according to the principle of 'Five Obstructions' of Lars von Trier. Please join and check out the E*Cinema blog.
