RESEARCHING CROSS MODAL TRANSLATION

Research in CMT has gone back to the 1920’s, and interest in synesthetic experiences were first recorded in Greek antiquity. However, much of the early research regarding synesthetic experiences has been muddled by speculation, pseudoscience, and New Age mysticism.

CMT provides a new path through the complicated waters of visual perception and sound psychology. With this new research, we can take a closer look at how our brains process auditory and visual pairings in art and design.

If you are interested in the research used to create this project, you can check out the bibliography on this webpage, or view the booklet from the exhibition.
