research

Stefanie Voigt advocates the following theses: Aesthetic sensation is the core phenomenon of consciousness. This phenomenon can only be adequately captured in an interdisciplinary manner. The model of consciousness that Voigt created in her doctoral thesis is therefore designed to be interdisciplinary, namely taking into account knowledge from psychology, philosophy, linguistics, semiotics, anthropology, art history and theory and constant consideration of artistic perspectives. According to this model, aesthetic perception takes place on three levels: a comparison between external stimuli and internal patterns; a search for new internal patterns; and a creative breakdown of the system that allows for an optimized restart. In her other publications, Voigt applies this model to various phenomena such as the "great feeling" of sublimity. The Business Aesthetics Academy project aims to use the aforementioned model for a “crash course in the art of thinking” under the conditions of today's economic life.
