Learning objectives
The workshop Creation and New Technologies: Emotions, Images, and Performance is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in Cultural Heritage studies. Its goal is to provide the necessary skills to understand the role of creativity in artistic productions that incorporate new digital technologies (AI and VR). Among the specific objectives, the following stand out: First, understanding the role of aesthetic emotions in both the creation and the experience of these artistic productions. Second, analyzing aesthetic interpretation models for these new forms of art, which place perception, images, and values at the core of their theoretical framework. Lastly, investigating how the concept of performance evolves with the integration of digital technologies into artistic practices. In addition to a theoretical approach provided by experts in the philosophy of emotions and human-machine interaction, the workshop also offers students hands-on experience in managing and producing performances in virtual and augmented reality.
Expected learning outcomes
· Develop a solid understanding of the role of creativity in artistic productions that utilize AI and VR.
· Comprehend the influence of emotions in the experience and creation of these forms of art.
· Analyze the artistic creativity phenomenon from an aesthetic perspective in relation to AI and VR.
