Perception, Listening, Mimesis, and Critique:
Concepts and Theories of Aesthetic Experience

Workshop

Dates
4.–6.10.2024

Location
Universität Graz, Graz

Part of
Horror Patriae: Exhibition

The workshop Perception, Listening, Mimesis, and Criticism: Concepts and Theories of Aesthetic Experience deals with different theories of aesthetic experience, artistic perception, and reception. Researchers, composers, and performers discuss how mimesis informs the use of empathetic, physical-spiritual participation, spontaneous sound imitation, and listener orientation in a soundscape for the aesthetic evaluation of audio score compositions. The central question is whether, why, and how the focus on listening in composition, interpretation, and reception creates a specific quality of experience and action that can create lasting change in the performance for all participants.

With Sandeep Bhagwati, Arnie Cox, Irene Frank, Igor Gross, Christoph Haffter, Susanne Kogler, Margarethe Maierhofer-Lischka, Jean-Paul Olive, Álvaro Oviedo, Nathan Ross, Sabine Sanio, Elisabeth Schimana, and Monika Voithofer
