Polyaesthetic survey app: Click here
A software application is being designed as a survey to map a variety of aesthetic expressions. The results will be displayed within a three dimensional electronic Cartesian coordinate model. The viewer will be able to see the difference between how they judge the ‘aesthetic category’ of expressions and compare that to the group demographics.

This application is designed as a survey tool to map a variety of aesthetic expressions. The results are displayed within a computer generated three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate model – a cube. The viewer can see the difference between how they judge the aesthetic category of a certain expression and compare that to the group demographics for the same expression. By challenging the definitions of aesthetics and how we normally look at it, this mapping will help assist artists and scientists as well as non-artists and scientists to understand the nature of their personal aesthetic and how it relates to science, art and other aesthetic expressions.
To use this app:
· Choose one of the nine aesthetic expressions to map by clicking on one square
· Use the slider to answer the next three questions about that item. Remember to click submit after you have made your choice.
Is this item non functional or functional?
Did this item take mental prowess or physical prowess to make?
It this item experienced more as thinking experience or direct sensory experience?
· A rendered 3-D revelation made from your decisions will be plotted in the cube.
· You may explore a number of demographic comparison results as well
Please note, when using the app on your own device. Go to: http://www.determinantstudios.com/pamm/ you will need to sign in with an email address. You will also choose one discipline that most describes your area of expertise. Both will aid in clarifying the overall demographics of the project. Your device needs to be WebGL enabled to view the results. Every device may need separate instructions for how to move the cube and to zoom in and out.
