Abstract
How art appreciation affects the human mind is an interesting question. Several studies have already been conducted on art’s calming and inspiring effects on the human mind. As an extension of this, whether art can enhance people’s creativity is a fundamental and interesting question. If art appreciation can enhance people’s creativity, a new function of art will be discovered. It is well known that displaying media art, such as video art, in a large space can provide a deeply immersive experience, as with projection mapping. A deep sense of immersion can contribute to enhancing creativity. Therefore, it is desirable to research to evaluate whether creativity is aroused by displaying and viewing media art in a large space. One way to make a small space look vast is to construct a space using mirrors. We have designed and constructed an immersive space surrounded by mirror displays with the functions of both a mirror and a display. Firstly, this paper describes the specific method. In addition, using art created by one of the authors, we conducted a psychological experiment using 40 subjects to compare and evaluate her art and geometric figures displayed in the space. The results show that the immersive space and her art combination have characteristics that motivate people’s minds and arouse creativity.
