International Association of Empirical Aesthetics

Future Follows Past – Creating a Gesamtkunstwerk together for Arts and Aesthetics Research

The International Association for Empirical Aesthetics (IAEA) is a non-profit organisation promoting the scientific study of all aspects of aesthetics. The goal of the organisation is to give scientific research on aesthetics an international forum for discussion and exchange. Organisation members employ a wide range of empirical methods from psychology and other social sciences, as well as computational, biological, and neuroscience techniques; these target research questions in traditional aesthetic domains (visual art, music, performing arts), as well as newly emerging domains (video, computer animation), and broader, domain-general or everyday questions on the nature of beauty and aesthetic experiences.
