About
Patrick Ceyssens is an Associate Professor specializing in Image Analysis and coordinator of the research group 'Frame', focusing on the subconscious effects of visual media through the interplay of perception, memory, cognition, and emotion.
His research integrates two core themes:
- Memory and deceptive enchantment: Utilizing amateur photographs and 'objets trouvés' as emotionally charged fragments of daily culture that capture poetic reality through imperfection.
- Disruption of conventional interpretation: Merging media via film projections on painted canvases and symbolically charged spaces to sever image-memory connections, exemplified by his assertion 'Our mind is the only canvas'.
His artistic practice spans processed paintings, photographs, theatrical video projects, and multi-media installations including:
- What Remains 2
- Again and again 8
- the place of meaning is nervous #1
- In Absence series (multiple iterations)
- RAR#2 (two-part project)
- You agree with your imagination #1
As 'Frame' research group coordinator, Ceyssens drives interdisciplinary work bridging visual arts with cognitive neuroscience, emphasizing the brain's role as the primary site for image processing and memory construction.
