The International Association for Empirical Aesthetics (IAEA) is promoting the scientific study of all aspects of aesthetics. The theme of this year’s conference was “Future Follows Past – Creating a Gesamtkunstwerk Together for Arts and Aesthetics Research”.

Anna Lena Knoll and Eva Specker (both IWM Tübingen) presented a poster showcasing the findings of their evaluation study on Quantum Arcade. The study explored how museum visitors interacted with the game, how they experienced the gameplay, and how playing Quantum Arcade influenced their interest in and understanding of quantum computing.
