The way of ambiances
L'usage des ambiances
The sensory experience of situations
Une épreuve sensible des situations
Published on mercredi, juin 20, 2018
Summary
Sensory atmospheres and ambiances are open to a wide variety of uses, whether in the arts, the urban or the social sciences. How do ambiances contribute to put ordinary situations to the test of the sensory experience? How do they open up new paths in terms of artistic work, methodological experimentation or theoretical exploration? What about a situated socio-aestheticism, mindful of the percepts and affects that pervade our living environments and seep into the contemporary sensitivities?

Argument
Sensory atmospheres and ambiances are open to a wide variety of uses, whether in the arts, the urban or the social sciences. How do ambiances contribute to put ordinary situations to the test of the sensory experience? How do they open up new paths in terms of artistic work, methodological experimentation or theoretical exploration? What about a situated socio-aestheticism, mindful of the percepts and affects that pervade our living environments and seep into the contemporary sensitivities?
Such questions will be asked during the symposium, meeting a threefold requirement: on the one hand, special attention will be paid to interactions, mutual contributions and questions between the art world and social sciences. On the other hand, it is necessary to initiate a meeting, to open a new dialogue with the English-speaking thinking on that matter, connecting and questioning the approaches of ambiances and atmospheres. Lastly, the uses of ambiances will be studied through surveys and theories, as well as actual practices and situated experiences. The days of the symposium will be organised as to switch between reflective thinking and concrete experimentations, to share experiences and to question arguments.
To some degree, the use of ambiances leads to experimenting a new symposium structure, between scientific discussion and artistic experimentation.
