🚨The Last Science On Tap before this event takes a Summer Break!! (Back September)This Month: "Art as meaningful environments" with Dr. Melissa Dolese
Why do we prefer the curves of a building to sharp industrial angles? Can we “read” a painting like a conversation? Beyond ethics and aesthetics, why do some audiences resist AI-generated art? Dr. Melissa Dolese explores the science of aesthetic experience—from how we perceive compositions, to the embodied and relational processes that shape meaning, to how we respond to AI in human-centered creation. Discover how our brains and bodies make meaning in these environments, and why human touch still matters.
🍻 In collaboration with the University of Alaska Southeast
