Abstract

To date, haptic aesthetic processing has been tested outside the field of real works of art. By providing the context of a contemporary art exhibition designed to be touched, we studied haptic pleasure towards artworks. In line with our hypothesis, seeing affected the evaluation of haptic pleasure which was higher in the blindfolded-tactile than visuo-tactile condition. Thus, seeing seems to impede the tactile processing of artworks.

Highlights

  • To date, haptic aesthetic processing has been tested outside the field of real works of art

  • Only a few studies have focused on haptic aesthetic processing

  • Carbon and Jakesch (2013) developed an elegant model of haptic aesthetic processing, to our knowledge, no research on the reception of works of art has so far been conducted within its theoretical framework

Summary

Introduction

Haptic aesthetic processing has been tested outside the field of real works of art. The viewers only occasionally have the opportunity to explore original works of art by hand while contemplating sculptures available in public space (Muth et al, 2019), interactive installations (Szubielska et al, 2019), or artworks designed with the thought of an audience with visual impairment (Szubielska, 2018).
