EVEille Days 2023
See you in Netherlands in May!
Following four events dedicated to the notion of Numesthesia in Strasbourg, Rouen, Colmar and Mulhouse, we will meet again on May 12, 2023 in Utrecht for a day devoted to “Sensing the digital”.
The aim of this event is to consider the ways in which the digital invites a sensorial experience of the object of research after its digitization. Can we experience the object through digital devices? Or can we only study it visually. What does the relationship between the digital and the material bring to our understanding of a physical object?
To the viewer, the result of a digital capture can seem to be a projection. Many times, the process through which this object was digitized often remains obscure. This event will be dedicated to the role of the senses in research practices. In particular, we will investigate how the senses inform scientific investigation, the development of a research question, the analysis of a source, and the way in which we interpret it.
