Digital and virtual seem to be the predominant terms of the 21st century. They affect our ways of seeing and how we relate to objects – how we think about them and, consequently, how we think about art. Yet, human beings are not only defined by their intellect, but also by their ability to see and feel through their senses. This panel explores artistic practices and philosophical discourses that encourage sentient perception.
