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.
