First I say hello to every one and apologize for my english. Annick Bureaud
invited me to join you.
I've opened the website www.synesthesie.com in 1995 and now we have also a
place near Paris for exhibitions, edition and events. It is devoted to
contemporary art, exploring the technological possibilities, and to human
sciences telling us how we can take advantage of the deep changes that
technology are involving in our life.
So synesthesia for me was at first a programm to look for how sound and
image and text can interact in a new environment, the web. It was also to
look at how different categories of art can be mixed for a better quality
of emotion and expresion.
But very quickly I met the notion of "total art" and this is really a big
problem. Why? because it is a fence, some kind of imprisonment. If
everything has a correspondance, if everything has a correlation with
another definite thing. Very dangerous because no more freedom of changing
our mind, it means a universe definitely closed on itself.
So the question is to know if there is a universal value of the alphabets
made by artists (Rimbaud, kandinsky, Messiaen...)
There are real synesthétics like daniel Tammet a famous english autist who
is able to enumerate the 22.514 first decimals of the pi number because he
associates each one to colors and shapes to memorize it (he makes of each a
digital landscape). Of course the interest is to understand how the
associations come and express themselves.
For me Synesthesia is above all the art of making links, the art to create
interaction, to articulate differences, to let or to reveal interstitial
thinking and behaviours between big entities. And we have not to forget that
each human being makes his own interpretations, synesthesie is different for
each of us and I can't pretend that my own associations would become the
truth for everyone. So Synesthesia is a singular mix between tolerance and
harmony.

> Dear YASMIN list,
>
> As announced, the Synaesthesia Discussion has already started.
>
> Herve Pierre Lambert gave us a very interesting update on current trends in
> Synaesthesia research. It has been acknowledged by experts, that among
> synaesthetes have been great artists who used their experiences as reflected
> in their work (Kandinsky, Messiaen et. al.)
>
> Also, current synaesthesia research focuses on creativity and development
> in arts education.
>
> One of the key topics of our Synaesthesia art & science discussion is to
> focus and explore what Synaesthesia means for a community of artists, art
> historians and researchers and what it means for the scientific
> community. Furthemore, one of the most important aims of this discussion
> topic is to identify the interactions between artists and scientists when
> using this term.
>
> For instance, one very popular confusion or misconception is of
> "Synaesthesia" and "Visual Music" as a genre. What are the main historical
> elements that have conspired to the interchange between these two terms? Are
> there any other forms of "synaesthetic arts"?

> Here is an interesting link for Visual Music :
