Dear all,
Regarding the design of interactive environments, where visitors are engaged in synesthesia-like experiences, I received an e-mail from the Italian designer Irene Schlacht, currently a PhD student in the TU-Berlin university.

I find it very interesting how her PhD theme is about extreme and isolated environments as spacecraft and cave for scientist,
where one of the main problems is sense deprivation.
This reminds me very vividly some of the work done by Takis during the 90s, where artworks by children deprived of one or the other sense, were produced and exhibited in Greece and France (i.e. blind children - by birth - producing sculptures and deaf children painting - what the imagine - sounds look like).
These were some of the most incredible pieces of artwork that I have ever seen !!!
Does anyone know of similar projects ?
Best
