Study says viewing online art can elevate your mood; find out how

Art is known to be therapeutic and can help uplift our mood. Notably, viewing art even on phone or computer screens holds a similar effect on the mind and body of a person. 

A recent study done by a research team involving the University of Vienna, the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt, shed light on how online art affects a person's state of mind.

It involved 240 participants who answered questions regarding their state of mind, the pleasure they felt and the meaningfulness of the experience, while viewing an online art exhibition. The result showed positive responses from them.

The study author also stated that 'online art viewing is an untapped source of support for well-being that can be consumed as bite-sized bits of meaning-making and pleasure'.
