Frank Kessler from the research team Utrecht and Sabine Lenk from the research team Antwerp participated in the international conference “Machines, Magie, Médias. Les arts trompeurs” held at Cerisy-la-Salle from August 20-28 2016. In their paper “Magie spectaculaire: pour une esthétique de l’émerveillement”, they discussed Tom Gunning’s concept of an “aesthetics of astonishment” in the context of turn-of-the-century visual and optical spectacles.
