Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Much research has been conducted on art, but the ultimate goal is to clarify art's fundamental questions: "What is beauty?" and "What is art?" In this study, as one approach to art, we examined the differences in the impact on people of different environments for appreciating art through psychological experiments. We constructed two types of immersive spaces that give different impressions and compared the impressions received by the subjects when they viewed video art created by one of the authors in these spaces. As a result, no statistically significant differences were found in subjects' psychological evaluations of the art content between the two immersive environments. In contrast, significant differences were observed in evaluating geometric figure content depending on the environment. These findings suggest that, unlike abstract stimuli, artistic content may evoke psychological responses that are relatively robust across different immersive conditions.
