Rationale
The workshop series will address the aesthetic experience generated by installations conceived as a spatial apparatus, designed by a producer, linking a moving observer and a prescriptive environment. They will aim to highlight the phenomenological, kinaesthetic, cognitive and dialogical mechanisms governing these experiences, in a variety of artistic fields (visual arts, music, literature, cinema), in Asia and the West. The goal is to unravel:
- The symbolic representations of the self-induced by the installation space,and through it those triggered by the place we inhabit, we dwell in, that we build through our journeys and contacts with people and things (social space, emotional, memorial space, territory, natural space, even the "Anthropocene" (the natural space put to the service of man). 
- The challenges and issues involved and addressed in the building of such aesthetic devices (subjective, symbolic, spiritual, political, gender issues), as well as to assess their potential transformative power. The convocation of a variety of artistic formats should interrogate the  bridges between fantasy/memory and experience.

Preference will be given to analysis applied to specific works, aiming to determine the structural conditions for the emergence of such a reflective experience, to evaluate its nature and value. Contributions by artists regarding their practice are solicited. Some communications may take the form of a performance or an experience with the public. Communications by artists presenting their goals, methods and creative process are very welcome. The workshops will be video recorded.

Keywords: Kinaesthesia, chiasmus, roaming, interactivity, intersubjectivity, imaginary space, dystopia, porosity, dialogy, engram.
