Experts believe that experiencing wonder could improve our physical, mental and social well-being.
Keltner approaches awe, in part, from an anthropological perspective, exploring how this emotion shapes our social fabric."As a species, we are very interdependent," he said."But the central challenge to healthy social networks, which is vital to our health, is unbridled self-interest."
Visitors look at an installation, three huge commissioned paintings about Buddhism and materialism inside the six-story Museum of Contemporary Art, or MOCA, in Bangkok, Thailand.But is finding wonder through art as simple as looking at a beautiful painting? Keltner says the answer is complex.the self-reported emotions of over 850 participants as they watched more than 2,000 short videos.
"Do you feel quiet, do you feel humble?" he said."All of our studies show that your sense of self recedes to the background of consciousness as you're absorbing this perceptual experience. The"small self" is probably one of the defining elements of awe."Evoking awe poses a challenge to artists because"it's one thing to astonish people and another to aesthetically point to new ideas," said Keltner.
Through her art, she tries to communicate her own awe to audiences. To do so, she plays with scale, both in the artistic and scientific sense. Drawing from the vast planetary scale of astronomy and astrophysics as well as from the microscopic dimensions of quantum mechanics, Klein strives to create a space where viewers can arrive at their own moments of wonder.Her work incorporates radiating lines and recurring spirals, eliciting a sense of motion and drawing the viewer in.
