The third part of the KVAB Spring Cycle is a broad day event. It is the highlight of the series because we build on all scientific knowledge about visual perception in a discussion of various social and cultural applications:

• The increased importance of the visual due to developments in image technology and social media (image culture)
• The role of the visual in our thinking and our creativity (image thinking)
• Visual expertise (e.g. the eye of the art expert)
• Visual literacy (e.g. the importance of “slow looking” when viewing visual art)
• Visual education, etc.

Scientists, artists, technologists, creatives and policymakers from the education and cultural sector come together to highlight and discuss all these facets from a multitude of perspectives.
