What happens when we encounter art while just going about our everyday life, walking through Vienna? 🎨 We tried to answer this question by looking at people looking at art in an observational study tracking naturally occurring interactions with art in our study area. 🕵‍♀️

ALLab is based in the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM) in Tübingen. Its aim is to empirically investigate how and what can be learned from aesthetic experiences ✨

Stay tuned, for now... That's ALL folks!

Our dear @margot-dehove.bsky.social is leaving us for a research stay in the UK through the OeAD Marietta Blau scholarship. Yesterday we said goodbye with lots of laughter (although we are sad to see her go) and one of Margot's favourite things in Austria (Laugenecke from Billa)

Can you judge a book by its cover? Turns out—yes, and it sticks with you. 📚✨

Last week we went on a little lab retreat. We stayed at the beautiful Rudolfsvilla in Reichenau an der Rax. We had food prepared by our wonderful chefs Helmut, Jan, and Kirren. We discussed future career plans of our PhD students in the garden and around the fire. We all had a beautiful time ❤

Do aesthetic experiences require real sensory input, or can mental imagery evoke them just as powerfully?
Our study shows that vivid mental imagery alone can trigger aesthetic experiences nearly indistinguishable from those caused by real sensory input! doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2025.112588

New review! We provide an overview of the psychological processes that may be at play when #art viewing supports #wellbeing.

More testing of these ideas are needed so We provided new Receptive Art Reporting Guidelines to encourage more quality #research.

The impact of viewing art on well-being—a systematic review of the evidence base and suggested mechanisms
