DIALECTICAL LIVES
In this inaugural issue of ARTOEND, we would like to have you reconsider the bilateral relation between science and art as a dialectical relation: an organic bond rather than a conversation between two distinct fields. Bringing Neuroaesthetic into Life, our contributors here ambiguate the border between what lies outside in the world and what is innate to our biology.

Editor’s Letter
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Bioaesthetics Of The Ontical Human
Translating the physiological realities of the human body into tangible visualities that unite the interpersonal and intrapersonal realms of space-time.
The Space Between
The photographer reimagines Ricardo Bofill’s La Muralla Roja, using 2D visuality to provoke new sensory experiences of 3D structurality.
David Howes: The Shifting Sensorium, Aisthesis and Hyperaesthesia
A conversation defending the senses as a kaleidoscopic whole, pushing back against reductive science and a marketplace that attempts to narrow human perception.
Of Conjunction and Disjuncture: Aesthetic Phenomenology
Exploring the anthropological nexus of neuroscience and philosophy through the layered disposition of the noumenal when processed as phenomena.
Saharra Dixon: Theatrical Neurology, Narration and Self-Clamation
Engaging the intrapersonal and interpersonal realms through self-clamation and alternative onto-epistemologies enabled by the theater.
Transdisciplinarily Aestheticized
Sitting at the intersection of the visual, semantic, and tactile, The Book of Lightness and Forgetting uses artistic intervention to encapsulate neurological knowledge.
Ieva Andrulyte: An Art of Neuroscientific Inquiries into the Linguistic
A computational neuroscience researcher embraces the aesthetic as an essential means of organization and communication within the scientific field.
Post-Structuralism and Postmodernism: Meditations of the Zeitgeist for Bringing Neuroaesthetics into Life
Tracing the zeitgeist of post-structuralism and postmodernism through the intimacies of scientific and artistic discourses with epistemology and individual life.
Transtemporal Sight, Spatialized Sound
Recreating tactile objects through digital means to evoke a trans-sensorial nostalgia that seamlessly bridges the analog and the digital.
Heka Studio: In The Field
Merging law, anthropology, and artistic practice, the interdisciplinary researcher creates temporary, ritualistic environments to investigate the invisible structures that shape meaning, power, and shared realities.
Performance as Laboratory: Embodiment, Memory, and Neuro-Responsive Composition in Contemporary Artistic Research
An exploration of artistic research moving from community soundscapes to EEG-derived frameworks that translate physiological states into musical experience.
Techno-Corporeality and Embodied Mind
Oscillating between neurology and aesthetics, this dance-based work constructs a wholeness where the distinction between the external and internal becomes indistinguishable.
The Eye of the Beholder: The Case for a Neuroscientific and Technological Turn in Art History
Integrating neuroimaging, machine learning, and eye tracking to complement and substantially deepen traditional humanistic inquiry in the arts.
Where To Go From Here
Everything in these pages argues that the aesthetic is not observed but lived. This is where we hand it back to you: the works, spaces, and encounters we think are worth meeting with your whole body, and the ways to step further into NAPAT's world.
