Re: [microsound] microsynaesthesia

[andrew benson <cloudmachine99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Having followed this thread, I think what's lacking in
our language is a proper term that represents an
artistic use of trans-aesthetic mappings. 
"Synaesthesia" only gets overuse because we don't have
a better word for such explorations between senses. 
To me, the most interesting AV work does not directly
correlate between sight+sound, but shows a disjunction
between the two, and opens up a space of unexpected
relationships.  I say we leave Synaesthesia to the
victims and scientists, and find our own term that can
be overused.
