THEArt Beyond Sight

Thursday, August 30, 2007

CAN YOU HEAR, SMELL, TASTE OR FEEL COLOURS OR SHAPES?

Then, you are desperately needed!

I am an MA design student at Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London, working on a project which deals with sensory reactions to art. I am creating an unconventional method for the appreciation of 2dimentional art for both the blind and the sighted.

During my research I was fascinated by synaesthesia and I would be delighted if I could get some multi-sensory reactions to 5 specific paintings. I am aiming to compose sound, texture, even smell and taste depending on your comments on those paintings.

I would be grateful if you would be willing to share your multi-sensed experience either by adding a comment on the web-page or by email.
I already appreciate your attention and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks a lot,
Theodora
