Offerman, Celine (author)Correctly processing accumulated information is beneficial for our survival. Berghman and Hekkert (2017) argue that this is why we humans derive pleasure from having a sense of aesthetics. These aesthetic experiences can be seen as our brain’s reward system for correctly perceiving and interpret- ing the world around us. While our senses have...master thesis 2023

Murraij, Evy (author)Flavobacteria are marine organisms that produce vivid, angle-dependent colour as their cells organise into structures that interact with light. These optical structures, resulting in structural colour, are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. In this graduation project, the aim was to integrate living...master thesis 2023

Radman, A. (author)The paper addresses the topic of architectural intelligence whose sole purpose is to create affordances and make experience ‘stand on its own’, apart from architecture and distinct from the architect. The principles of sensation constitute the principles of composition of an existential niche whose structure reveals the genetic conditions of...journal article 2023

Lindborg, Per Magnus (author), Lenzi, S.L. (author), Chen, Manni (author)Introduction: It has proven a hard challenge to stimulate climate action with climate data. While scientists communicate through words, numbers, and diagrams, artists use movement, images, and sound. Sonification, the translation of data into sound, and visualization, offer techniques for representing climate data with often innovative and...review 2023

Pandey, Pankaj (author), Bedmutha, Poorva Satish (author), Miyapuram, Krishna Prasad (author), Lomas, J.D. (author)Music recommendation systems struggle with predicting the aesthetic responses of listeners based solely on acoustic characteristics, which are dependent on the listener's perception. This research correlates acoustic music features with brain responses to report the neural aesthetic hypothesis that the intensity of an aesthetic experience can...conference paper 2023

Arts, Bente (author)Textiles are unimaginable out of our lives - from the moment a human is born until existence stops - textiles are touched by wearing, seeing and feeling them. Where it once was fundamental for survival, today, the textile industry has grown towards a system that prioritises speed, efficiency and uniformity (Goldsworthy & Politowicz, 2018)...master thesis 2022

Jin, Shuyue (author)The problem we want to address<br/>AI(Artificial intelligence) is diving into people’s lives as its algorithm continues to iterate. However, the algorithmic and quantitative systems do not seem to access people’s experiences, which always include emotional and qualitative factors. How can an AI system understand people’s feelings? How can an AI...master thesis 2022

Çelebi, Betul Irmak (author)Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) brought rapid developments in generating synthetic images by mimicking structures in the training data. With the list of application of GANs growing drastically, it has lately become an exciting technology to explore for designers to communicate their ideas and arts through technology and create engaging...bachelor thesis 2022

Nguyen, Bill (author)Despite the fact that climate change is becoming increasingly dangerous and prevalent, there is still a lack of public engagement. This can be explained by the fact that the media portrays climate change as an abstract concept. The message can be more effectively communicated through visual art because it is more likely to invoke emotional...bachelor thesis 2022

Radman, A. (author)The chapter is devoted to an ecological work of art; the proof that senses, inventions and worlds are not to be considered in isolation. It examines the process of folding an ‘uncanny valley’ into an ‘inhabitable mountain’ across seven points. First: Amor fati, the Nietzschean call to be worthy of what happens to us. Second: Decoding and...book chapter 2022

Loos, Shannon (author), Wolk, Sytze van der (author), Graaf, Nina de (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Wu, J. (author)Topology optimization is increasingly applied to design consumer products, for which aesthetics plays an important role to consumer acceptance. In industrial design, it is known that preferences or taste judgement obey certain rules or principles. These principles are not directly quantifiable, but can qualitatively predict and explain...journal article 2022

(author)Flavobacteria, which can be found in marine environments, are able to grow in highly organized colonies producing vivid iridescent colorations. While much is known about the biology of these organisms, their design potential as responsive media in user interfaces has not been explored. Our paper aims at bridging this gap by providing insights...conference paper 2022

Lomas, J.D. (author), Xue, H. (author)Classical theories of harmony have been used to explain phenomena like beauty, happiness, health, virtue, pleasure, peace, and even ecological sustainability. With the intent of making these theories more accessible to designers, this article reviews the conception of harmony from about 500 BCE to the present. It begins with a brief overview...journal article 2022

Lemke, M. (author), de Boer, Bas (author)Disgust is commonly understood as an emotion of aversion. However, people seem to eat certain food items not despite containing disgust eliciting features but because of them. In this paper, we introduce the term aesthetic disgust to capture this phenomenon. We outline in our manuscript how designers use different techniques to stage the food...journal article 2022

Mandias, S.S. (author), Ronner, E.I. (author), Dimitrova, Kornelia (author), Decroos, Bart (author)In recent decades, the field of architecture has witnessed a fundamental shift under the banner of ‘ecology’: from the innovation in energy technologies to the use of circular materials and climate-neutral building solutions – today, more than ever, the construction of a building seems to be dominated by an ecological awareness. At the same time...contribution to periodical 2022
