I wrote a little sketching program that allows for more complex, dynamic brushes than I could put together in Photoshop. It works ok, but doesn't have an eraser tool yet.
This comprised entirely of technical diagrams and scientific illustrations. you can see them better in original www.flickr.com/photos/memoryradio/4352596722/sizes/o/
Another synesthesia painting, this time to Seether's "Simplest Mistake", a song which I literally hadn't listened to in over a year. It was interesting for me to do a mental 'double-take' on the colors, first prior to understanding why I saw them, and now after.
I focused mostly on the vocals, especially when the lead singer throws his voice. The edges around the orange should be a little more ragged. But considering the art of throwing voices, Seether's singer has a pretty smooth tone, unlike most others.

Another encaustic piece, this time done in a much smaller 'ACEO' size. I only listened to this song through three or four times while doing this one, yet found it just as enjoyable as the larger works I did in the past.
At some point in the next few days or so, I'll have a big surprise for you all that I'm really looking forward to sharing, so keep your eyes peeled for new synesthesia art!

cacophonous colors
today was my last day as a freshman in high school! but the end was so utterly anticlimactic it was sad. there was no bell, thereupon no party in the halls. just being released from calss to a nearly empty school and shoved out the doors into the rain.
thanks, school.
another from yesterday,
it might look similar, but to me its something totally different.
i've also found that fill light is my new best friend.

With my synesthesia ["grapheme → color"] I see the month of April as green, since the letter "A" is green- so a green portrait to start the penultimate month of 366 portraits...
Daniel Tammet is one of only 50 savants in the world and the stuff he can do is remarkable. Back in 2004, Daniel recited Pi to 22 thousand five hundred and fourteen digits. It took more than 5 hours! Daniel was born with Asperger's syndrome - a high-functioning form of autism and he developed something called Synesthesia. It means he sees numbers and letters in colour. He also associates numbers with emotions and shapes. His memoir 'Born on a Blue Day' is a New York Times best seller and he's just written a new book called 'Embracing the Wide Sky'.

My alternate idea for My Face Is My Canvas' Emulation #26, the first idea I had looked really weird so I scrapped it and went with this idea that came to me last night on our drive home.
All in all the trip to Victoria was really great. We got to explore the southern island, visit some cool places and eat great food. But with all of that good stuff there was one thing constantly tugging at my brain.
A while ago I mentioned that I have something called Color Synesthesia , where words, names, personalities, places all have a clear and distinct colour in my mnd. Normally I don't even notice it I just think of a word and the colour appears with it, like a little movie screen in my mind. But I've noticed that it becomes tricky when I've been in an environment or place only once before and attached a colour to it, only to have a new colour attach itself if I come back. It sounds confusing I know....
A few years ago I visited Victoria for the first time at the end of one of my 2 month bike trips. Emotions were high since it was the final stop and I had always wanted to visit the city. My first experience of Victoria was excellent and all the places we went to had very clear and vivid colours attached in my brain. When Scott and I visited those same places last week the colours were different and it bothered me a lot. I felt like I wasn't in the same spot, like it wasn't as good as it was before and that we were missing out on something because things weren't the same colour. It seems kind of ridiculous and I tried not to let it weigh me down but it was constantly nagging at me, it was weird because we've travelled to different places together and I've never really had that happen....should be interesting to see what happens next time we're there...

MFIMC Emulation #26
Synesthia is when you see colors when you hear things and names have colors if you have synesthia! I wish I had it!
This is actually a photo. Handheld long exposure with a wide lens and an ND110. Then, let's just say a little tweaking.
While walking through the city, I was struck by the musicality of this architecture. My goal was to transcend the purely architectural aspect to reveal the visual symphony that presented itself to me.
This image is an invitation to listen to architecture with your eyes, to perceive how urban rhythms can transform into an abstract composition. It's an exercise in translation, where each line becomes a note, each rectangle a measure, each contrast a variation in intensity. Through this architectural snapshot, I seek to share this urban synesthesia, this way of seeing the city as an immense open-air score.
I got approached by Synesthesia to do an interview a while back. Here's the finished result, hope you like it :)

Excerpt from irisvanherpen.com:
SYNESTHESIA – Synesthesia is a neurological condition that results in a combination of sensory perceptions. Synesthesia is an extreme sensitivity of the body, as a result of which all the senses merge.
To underscore the hypersensitivity of the body, and to visualize this entanglement of sensory perceptions Van Herpen secured shiny metal foil on specially treated leather that generated a confusing visual effect without a steady fixation point. You can see colors when hearing music or experience taste. People who have this 'abnormality' are actually living in a constant natural trip. In this collection Iris has approached the body as a manipulative, sensitive and fragile object by enlarging body parts through transparency, movement and extreme repetition so as to emphasize extremely refined craftsmanship. She confused the eyes and gives clothing an extra dimension by combining movement with liveliness. "I wonder if in the future clothing will support some of our senses or even take over."
Kandinsky, in his book "On the Spiritual in Art" (1910), spoke about the theory of synesthesia and experimented with image-music correspondences in his paintings.

"syn·es·the·sia: a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color. "
