Synesthesia

Here is a blog entry on Booooom that really excited me today.

 A group called 'Yours Truly are setting up a project called Synesthesia. Synesthesia is a a neurological condition that produces the rare ability to experience separate senses simultaneously, the difference between imagery and sound are not easily identified. Artist Yuri Suzuki has been featured in the project because of her work making physical objects and installation reconnect back to their physical origins. Her piece featured on this booooom post I find most interesting is her links of drawing to sound. This small box below emits different sounds depending on the colouration on the page around it. 

I did my own experimentation last year on my art class with abstract drawing to music. The correlation of doodle interpretation to different genres was really. 


These markings were were the most commonly drawn when visually describing...

Ambient

 

Classical 

Jazz

Rock

So much scope for exploration here.
