synesthesia

So what I gather is that people have conditions where they see colors as numbers and vice versa to name an example. At least that tends to be the case with the plain, scientific, cognitive diagnosis. That is the gist of what I gathered. When it comes to art and synesthesia it seems to be along the same plain of thought. As artists, to me, it is the definition of what we do in any art form. We try to put emotion into a touchable, medium. Whether it be film, music, painting, singing, etc., we put emotion into a medium. It's that simple. This definition, that I have never heard before, really just reinforces these things I already new. It is still interesting to know that it is a neurological disorder that can happen. I just hope that the people that do have that channel what could be viewed as a handicap into an art form. I now it mentioned a color organ and musical painting. I would love to see more of that. I hope people, including myself, would experiment with combined arts invoking emotions and senses. In the end that is what art is and combining them can take them to another level. I believe that we as a society have started to do that much more than before with music videos, films, and stunt artists. These are mediums that combine senses, and invoke emotions. No longer is it just singing, or just sculpting, or just a play. THere are many combined and I thing that the more artists combine and play the more fun and expansive the art world will become.

The film had a great use of colors. I liked it because it gave me something to watch that I would not normally see in a film. I could only watch about ten minutes of a film like that. It just got tiresome after awhile because I kept looking for patterns or reasons and there were some sometimes but at other times it just got annoying for a bit. Sound definitely made it more tolerable. Had there not been any music or sound it would have made the film extremely annoying and I probably would have only been able to watch it for a couple minute before it would have lost me. I did really like the use of scratches and amazing color in the film. Those aspects of it were extremely interesting to me, most likely because it goes back to the fact that I do not see that often. I watch a lot of movies but none of the movies I watch are at all like the one I watched in 6X1 class.
