Why Does Art Create Immersive Experiences? with Dr. Harri Mäcklin

In this episode of the Chasing Leviathan podcast, PJ and Dr. Harri Mäcklin of the University of Helsinki discuss the immersive power of art, it's ability to widen our understanding of the possible, and more deeply connect us to others. For a deep dive into Dr. Harri Mäcklin's work, check out these works: When art transports us, where do we actually go? 👉 https://psyche.co/ideas/when-art-transports-us-where-do-we-actually-go"Phenomenology of the Image" in The Palgrave Handbook of Image Studies 👉 https://amzn.to/3CdnvNP Check out our blog on www.candidgoatproductions.com Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud. These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop. Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
