Episode Synopsis "Anubhava XP 6: Art, Experience and Absurdity"

Anubhava XP 6: Art, Experience and Absurdity with Sajid Wajid Shaikh Anubhava Podcast Episode 06 by the Experiential Cognition Lab. What does it mean to be contemporary in art practice? What is the relationship between art and experience? What is cognitive dissonance and how do artists employ absurdity in their artworks?  Cognitive dissonance is when your brain feels uncomfortable because you have two ideas that don't agree. It's like disagreeing with your head, and it makes you want to change one of those ideas to make things feel better. Join us in this 6th episode of the Anubhava podcast with Sajid Wajid Shaikh to explore how and why juxtapositions of familiar objects in unfamiliar contexts evoke uneasy questions and to understand the phenomena of cognitive dissonance through his art.
