Sensorium Tests (360G-Wellcome-092274_Z_10_Z)
Taking as its starting point a real-life scientific experiment on mirror-touch synaesthesia (2005, by S.J. Blakemore, D. Bristow, G. Bird, C. Frith, and J. Ward), Sensorium Tests, a 20 minute long, 16mm experimental art film, sets out to be the first artwork to express the sensory effects of this neurological condition, experienced by perhaps one in twenty-five people, in which visually observed touch to others' bodies is perceived as a touch to the synaesthete's own body. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach in my treatment of the theme of perception, I will draw on film aesthetics, neuroscience and my rich background in artmaking to interrogate the possibility of evoking a visceral sense of 'touch' through the audio visual medium of film.
