The project

 

AMuSE investigates the field of sensory experience using visual and applied arts and exploring the artistic heritage of the different contexts that define European identity. The project’s aim is to improve sensory knowledge through the artistic process; to deepen research related to sensory data as a source of thought and creativity, to reveal local cultural traditions and promote the integration of the senses in the artistic process. AMuSE created a transnational platform among emerging artists beneficiaries of the project.
