Event: Optronica talk by Dr Jamie Ward, Samantha Moore & Simon Ings
Place: London, UK, BFI Southbank
Date: 17/3/2007
Artists have long been fascinated by synaesthesia: where one sense reaches into the realm of another. Kandinsky and Scriabin, thought this suprasensory state spiritual. For others it was an inspiring place to visit with psychedelics. For many it offers important creative challenges. But how does synaesthesia relate to artistic endeavour and aesthetic appreciation? Navigating these realms and separating science from myth in this illustrated talk are writer Simon Ings, synaesthesia researcher Dr Jamie Ward and filmmaker Samantha Moore.
