Interdisciplinary College 2023
Dynamics of Experience – Minds, Bodies, and Things
12.03.-17.03.2023
The IK 2023 is aimed to explore how experience emerges from dynamic processes of bodies, minds, and things. The focus is on the role that physical interaction plays for cognition.
a) How do sensorimotor capacities and the experience of one’s own body develop and enable agents to engage with the world?
b) How do cognitive competences and experience emerge in neural systems that are linked to the sensorimotor surfaces and are embedded in the world?
c) How do humans actively structure their environment to enable particular forms of experience and processes of meaning-making, e.g. in educational and artistic settings, but also in the way technological artefacts are integrated into our world?
