Name: Amy Jorgenson, MFA ’15
Thesis cover
This labor of love is a 194 page romp through 9 of my installation art projects, complete with contextual research and a few behavioral science lessons. We travel to Ireland for a sound art conference, to Iceland for a public art intervention and stay state side for a bunch of non-traditional gallery shows. An experiment on how to increase creativity proves fruitful, and there’s even a photo of Mr. Rogers.
The four areas of examination are how art can change behavior, specifically, brainwave state behavior, creative behavior, physiologic behavior, and habitual behavior on a cultural level.
You really should read it.
