Cymatics and Synesthesia

The power of the human brain to process numbers and letters and see them as different colors is an amazing phenomenon. To turn often mundane numbers and letters into something beautiful adds another dimension to a persons outlook on life. What is art is one of the biggest questions there is in the world. Art has been been around in some way, shape or form since the beginning of humans being in existence. The intersecting rather than the collaboration of the different senses is a concept that artist have been experimenting with, specially in the 21st century with the increase in the access and quality of technology. Cymatics is the ultimate example of this marriage of technology and the mixing of senses. The visual manifestation of sound is something that people often image when they hear  music or sounds, but seeing what that sound could look like is opening a new door into the barriers of the senses, In film, senses are extremely important in sight and sounds. In experimental film the sky is the limit to what is acceptable.
