FAQs

I don’t have any art experience, will i benefit from this training?

You don’t need any prior art experience as our trainings use looking at art as a medium to explore how we perceive. The sessions are designed for both those participants with and those without a knowledge of art.

are the trainings based on looking at art only or do you also engage in hands-on activities?

Looking at art is the foundation of our programs however we also use an extensive menu of hands-on perceptual activities to illustrate our perceptual keys.


I’m a scientist, why should I engage with Sensverse?

Our trainings provide perceptual strategies to help you access fresh perspectives. Uncovering new ways of seeing is a keystone to creative thinking, which benefits professionals and individuals across fields.

Why should I think about optimizing, activating and integrating my perception?

Our perception is partial and works in highly automated ways so we tend to rely on limited and habitual modes of perceiving. Such perceptual features helps us navigate our day with speed and efficiency, but they also keeps us locked into restricted modes of taking in and interpreting the world. What we see conditions how we think. New forms of perception will help us access novel insight.

How can looking at art make me more creative?

Enhancing sensory perception helps you gain a creative mindset because expanding on how you see allows you to access additional information and new points of view. You “reframe,” gaining a path towards fresh ways of seeing, feeling and thinking.


how can your workshops help me build my team?

Our workshops provide an “out-of-our-daily-life” space conducive to sharing in novel ways. Discussing how and what one perceives creates authentic dialogues. You become more aware of your own points of view and those of others. Groups get to know each other in a new context, while practicing effective creative, communication and wellbeing perceptual strategies.
