Episode 14: Dr. Sascha Benjamin Fink + talkPOPc Resident Philosopher Andrew Rubner explore Topic #3 "Art as Cognition"

In this episode from our talkPOPc event, held in our tent at Lincoln Terrace Park in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, we invite two philosophers to converse about and explore the third and current topic "Art and Cognition." Resident Philosopher Andrew Rubner from Rutgers University and Professor of Neurophilosophy, Dr. Sascha Benjamin Fink from Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany tackle the distinction between something being art and something not being art—they discuss issues of intentionality, whether art can be created by accident, if the role of the artist involves the “intention to guide your attention”, and, to what degree the viewer participates in the construction of art. Realist versus anti-realist debates finish the fruitful conversation.Support the showWebsite: talkpopc.orgInstagram: @talkpopcEmail: [email protected]
