Cluster Senior co-Director Horst Bredekamp (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and David Poeppel (Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics): Panel Discussion: »Provocation via Images«
presented by Wiebke Bernard (Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics)

The anthology »Images as Forms of Thought« opens up recent positions on image studies that are dedicated to the interplay of understanding and visualization.

For the first time, Japanese and German perspectives are presented in a methodological dialogue. The viewpoint of image science sees thinking as originating only in manual making and sensual perception. Without artistic products, no cognition can arise. This questions common cognitive science models that insist on the primacy of the brain.

A panel discussion between the art historian Horst Bredekamp and the neuroscientist David Poeppel will address central problems of the publication and trace the provocation of thinking »image forms«.
