{"product_id":"sensory-arts-and-design-9781350080102","title":"Sensory Arts and Design","description":"Artists, designers and researchers are increasingly seeking new ways to understand and explore the creative and practical significance of the senses. This ground-breaking book brings art and design into the field of sensory studies providing a clear introduction to the field and outlining important developments and new directions. A compelling exploration of both theory and practice, Sensory Arts and Design brings together a wide variety of examples from contemporary art and design which share a sensory dimension in their development or user experience. Divided into three parts, the book examines the design applications of new technology with sensing capacities; the role of the senses in creating new imaginative environments; and the significance of the senses within different cultural practices. The thirteen chapters cover a highly diverse range of issues - from the urban environment, architecture and soundscapes to gustatory art, multisensory perception in painting, music and drawing, and the relationship between vision and smell. Initiated by Insight, a research group at Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts -widely recognised as a center of research excellence - the project brings together a team of experts from Britain, Europe and North America. This timely book is destined to make a significant contribution to the scholarly development of this emerging field. An important read for students and scholars in sensory studies, design, art, and visual culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIan Heywood is Research Fellow at the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, Lancaster University, UK\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985413505298,"sku":"9781350080102","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e76e7d9e-556c-47f6-b83b-a6b56b32039c.jpg?v=1769533919","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/sensory-arts-and-design-9781350080102","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
