A Video Game Designed To Induce Synesthesia

La synesthésie dans l'art : Patricia Zazzali-Brentini à TEDxLausanne

“I decided to shape some of my own synesthetic experiences.” Rocha says. “There are phrases in the video that represent the mind’s conscious side (voice off) and some the subconscious one (icons, graphics).” By overloading our senses with words, images, and sounds and creating non-sequitur type links between them Rocha creates a disorientating video that might be synesthesia, or might just be lots of crazy images and a weird looking bird flying about your screen.

This application is based on a musical instrument by Amit Pitaru which has been shown in museums and galleries world wide. The Sonic Wire Sculptor turns your 3D drawing into sound.

Ghost Drummer is a multidisciplinary project that explores graphic qualities in process of playing on a drum kit. Besides being a musician, the drummer when playing is unconsciously engaged in an elaborate choreography. The drum sticks are the extensions of drummer's hands like a brush is an extension of the painter's hand. Motion-captured movements become a visual map over a time revealing fragile rhythm structures and invisible notations behind energetic instrumental solo.
