Visual Science of Art Conference: Vision Forward: Perception, Art & Technology

The Visual Science of Art Conference (VSAC) 2026 brings together designers, scientists, artists, engineers, and innovators to explore how visual perception and artistic practice intersect to shape human experience and interaction with the world. The conference examines how insights from perception and art advance our understanding of visual experience and inform creative practice, scientific inquiry, and the development of intuitive and effective technologies. Hosted by the Department of Engineering at King’s College London, UK from August 20–22, 2026, this year’s event highlights design as a critical interface between humans, complex systems, and technologies, showing how artistic and aesthetic approaches can help us understand, model, and enhance perceptual processes.
