7622
7621
This
seminar
takes
the
scientific
method
,
one
of
the
most
innovative
inventions
humans
have
created
for
exploring
ideas
and
constructing
knowledge
,
and
applies
it
to
artistic
practices
of
research
and
production
.
What
are
the
processes
by
which
we
investigate
our
conscious
experiences
in
art
and
science
?
What
can
these
disciplines
learn
from
one
another
and
how
can
we
open
up
the
ways
in
which
we
generate
research
questions
and
conduct
experiments
to
explore
the
unknown
-
the
X
?
Our
aim
is
to
investigate
the
cognitive
realm
-
our
conscious
and
subconscious
thoughts
and
emotions
–
using
an
interdisciplinary
methodology
inspired
by
empirical
insights
from
cognitive
science
and
artistic
modes
of
production
.
Together
we
will
create
new
modes
of
experimentation
and
challenge
the
notion
of
the
“
laboratory
.”
During
the
seminar
you
will
have
the
chance
to
develop
and
test
experimental
paradigms
and
stimuli
.
Come
with
questions
,
prepare
yourself
to
tackle
problems
,
and
enjoy
the
process
.
