Authors

Fahlenbrach, Kathrin

Abstract

This article discusses aesthetic perceptions of audiovisual media. The author constructs a model that allows for analysis of audiovisual media that is perceived both physically and affectively. The author contends that physical and the affective sensory perception need to be perceived as one sensory unit in order to be understood correctly. The author articulates an audiovisual aesthetics that focuses on the intersection between audiovisual perception and audiovisual design. The author also discusses the Aristotelian concept of aisthesis, cognitive metaphors, and the mapping of physical schemata.
