Perception in Flux. From matter to code, rethinking the conditions of experience

Perceiving an artwork today means moving through a landscape where physical and digital dimensions continuously intersect.

The experience of art no longer rests on the division between object and image. It unfolds as a shifting field of negotiation, where body and signal, presence and transmission, co-construct the encounter. Neuroscience has confirmed what artists intuited long before: perception is never neutral. Every act of seeing is shaped by memory, by touch, by context.

In this inquiry, the trajectory of perception is traced from early fresco traditions to immersive digital environments, from the weight of monumental material to the ephemerality of LED screens, from the density of matter to the distributed logic of the network, from the aura of authenticity to the fluid property of hybrid culture. The focus is not on the medium itself but on how each artwork reorganizes perception, creates new architectures of experience, and redefines the relation between senses, space, and presence.
