I'm a new subscriber, and I should say hello to everybody in the list, and
thank you for bringing the topic of synesthesia to the foreground.
I'm a Brazilian teacher, artist and reseracher, working nowadays mainly with
cognitive sciences and technological societies, but my master's work was
entirely on synesthesia, I've issued a book on synesthesia here in Brazil in
2002, and I've also been in the last Granada and Hamilton conferences, so
I'm still very much involved with this.
I hope we have a fine month of exchanges about this fascinating subject.
all the best from Brazil

> 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 :
