A Study on the Divergence Between Psychological Evaluation and Physiological Indices During Art Viewing in Immersive Spaces

Le résumé fourni par la source

As an approach to the question of “what art is,” this study investigates the divergence between psychological evaluation and physiological responses during art appreciation. Two immersive environments were constructed: Immersive Space 1, which utilized mirror displays to create infinite visual reflections, and Immersive Space 2, a newly developed environment that employed large LED displays to eliminate visual self-reflection. Participants viewed a digital artwork in these spaces while both psychological responses and electrocardiographic (ECG) data were collected. Psychological evaluations showed no significant differences between the two spaces. However, ECG data revealed a clear difference: Immersive Space 2 induced higher parasympathetic activity and lower sympathetic arousal, suggesting a more relaxed physiological state. The findings suggest a dual-layered nature of art experience, offering new insight into the relationship between perception, cognition, and physical state.
