Synesthesia and the Arts

Explores the relationship between synesthesia - the experience of a sensation in one perceptual domain triggering a sensation in another perceptual domain - and the arts. It introduces readers unfamiliar with synesthesia to this intriguing phenomenon, alerts readers already conversant with synesthesia to its potential to encourage fresh ways of approaching art.

This study explores the relationship between synesthesia--the experience of a sensation in one perceptual domain triggering a sensation in another perceptual domain--and the arts (including painting, photography, music and literature). Its aim is twofold: to introduce readers as yet unfamiliar with synesthesia to this intriguing phenomenon by focusing on its impact on the creation and reception of art; and to alert readers already conversant with synesthesia in its many manifestations to its potential to encourage fresh ways of approaching art, of understanding the part played by our bodies in its production and receipt and, by extension, of reassessing our position in nature as humans.
