When I first heard about
synesthesia, it was only mentioned once in a book I was reading. After more
research on the subject I find that I am ever more interested in this ability.
It sounds like an incredible condition to experience. It was interesting to
read up on the different types of synesthesia. I think the types that turn
sound or images into colored visions are the most fascinating. I also found it
intriguing that in some cases multiple senses are linked together. Honestly, I
think this would be a condition that would be pleasurable to experience. The
article talked about how synesthetes use this talent to help with regular tasks
such as memorization but how it can also lead into more creative worlds like
theatre and film. As a person interested in design I feel like this would lead
to interesting artistic creations and is definitely something I will consider
in all future endevors.
The article on Synesthesia art was fascinating. It was intriguing
to read about the history of art and its connections to synesthesia. The
section on the artists who had had this condition and used it as a source of
inspiration. The color paintings definitely looked like something one would
expect to find in an experimental video. I also found the bit about the color
organ interesting. It was refreshing to see that artists have been interested
in this concept for a long time now. Looking at the artwork created it can be
easy to see how this associates with film and also gives me some examples for
inspiration.
The video on cymatics was something
I had never heard of. It does bring up some interesting ideas on the connection
between sound and visuals in film. One of these cymatic machines could lead to
an interesting experimental film. It is smart to always think of the connection
between soundtrack and what is on the screen. It makes me think of keeping
tempo and rhythm coherent with images.
Overall, all these articles have
opened up some interesting ideas and I am excited to get creative.
