Synesthesia Background

 

E. Cytowic, R., 2021. What color is Tuesday? Exploring synesthesia - Richard E. Cytowic. [online] TED-Ed. Available at: <https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-color-is-tuesday-exploring-synesthesia-richard-e-cytowic> [Accessed 8 December 2021].

Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon which has always interested me although my understanding of the science and sensation of it are limited. This TED video explains some of the science behind and aptly demonstrates how much interplay the senses can have with synesthesia. This is a topic I may well study further for my essay project. For the film, which has multimodality at it's core, incorporating this neurology will inform visuals in my film, and very possibly my material thinking and research.

Looking into how I can make the visuals look realistic would be an informative and enjoyable subject to look into. As more of the animation styles come into play with production processes, finding cases and sample animations of synesthesia would help with this. Then I will blend multimodality with accurate representations of seeing sounds. This would be effective to my research because it would use real cognitive phenomena involving mixing of the senses.
