Perceptual information or informed perception? synesthesia and sound-art
(Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2017) Ghosh, Ronit; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
Immersive sonic environments raise important questions regarding the nature and limits of human cognition. The inundation of the human in multi-directional, immersive sonic flows activates a new register of acoustical cognition which simultaneously engenders a new aesthetic way of encountering and experiencing sound. This paper seeks to investigate the composite positionality of sound often exploited by contemporary sound-artists. It elaborates on at least three distinctive onto-epistemological states that are simultaneously assumed by the sonic medium in certain immersive works of sonic art - sound as a tropological-discursive construct, sound as an event enabling the visualization of time and sound as a physical wave-object existing in space. The paper tries to approach the synesthetic possibilities inaugurated by the aforementioned spatialization of time in sound within conflicting discursive paradigms while also probing further implications of the ontological multiplicity of sound. It seeks to explore the dynamics of sonic synesthesia using a neuro-anatomical approach to synesthetic cognition that posit synesthetic experience as a mirror to neural cross-linkages.
