Synesthesia and Cymatics


The interesting aspect of synesthesia in art is how different artists with this condition operate and experience the world.  Even people that do not have the condition can still experience in some ways if specific artworks will accommodate and explore this particular field.  When I begin to think about the relations of painting and music when it comes to the visuals they can involuntarily produce within in a person it literally blows my mind.  Cymatics made me think even further about the vibrations made by sound.  Although we can’t see sound it indeed has an unseen form.  When observing these sounds people are gaining deeper understanding of the natural world, even animals speech.  Through various machines we are able to see the forms that various sounds give off giving an entire new dimension to sound.  Cymatics may have even had a hand in the formation of the universe and if that doesn’t blow your mind I don’t know what will.
