Art Laboratory Berlin is pleased to announce our upcoming conference:
5/ 6 July,
2013
Theater Glaskasten,
Prinzenallee 33, Berlin-Wedding
As a theoretical
addition to our ongoing exhibition series SYNAESTHESIA (October 2012 -
July 2013/ http://artlaboratory-berlin.org/home_eng.htm),
Art Laboratory Berlin will hold an international interdisciplinary conference
to further explore and theoretically question the field of multisensory
perception.
The term
"synaesthesia", from the Greek "aisthesis" ("Sensation",
"sensory impression") and "syn" ("together")
means the experience of two or more sensory impressions at the same time.
Currently there is a strikingly strong interest in the coupling of the
senses in science, humanities and in contemporary art. This should come
as no surprise: Our daily life in recent years has been subject to ever
more multimedia and multisensory experiences. Comparing the latest technologies
in the field of communication we come upon the radical technological development
during the last 25 years: music video (text, music, colour), computer
(as "total" sensory object) and also newest multiple forms of
mobile phones (not only used for calls, but as a photo camera, music player
or text machine, etc.).
It is the
aim of Art Laboratory Berlin to grasp the specific impulses of our current
complex, synchronous and technologised society on the phenomenon of synaesthesia,
with its distinctive form of sensory fluctuation. For the upcoming conference,
we are interested in discussing issues from diverse scholarly fields -
humanities, arts as well as natural and social sciences - regarding both
historical positions and contemporary inquiries. We will reflect topics
such as: synaesthesia and the neurological discourse (memory and cognition;
sensory perception); synaesthesia - between perception and subjectivity;
synaesthesia and language; synaesthetic modalities (grapheme synaesthesia;
synaesthesia of smell, taste, touch, sound and vision); synaesthesia in
art and cultural history (in visual art, literature and film); synaesthesia
and the digital world (synaesthesia in the 21st century).
