Artist Statement
The relation between emotion, color and sound has been the main inspiration for my recent work.
Doing research on the history of VJing i discovered synesthestisia.* This scientific approach explaining the relation that the senses have to one another fascinates me.
My work is based on the ideas of creative synesthesia.* *
Where I use mixed media to comunicate one same idea.
All media have one thing in common, they tigger emotion.
* Synesthesia is a neurological condition where the senses are mixed. This is why some people can actually see sounds and music as particular colors and shapes.
** Creative synesthesia is a concept introduces by Frans Evers meaning the use of multimedia in order to create an experience for multiple senses at the same time.
