Synesthetic Art.
Friday, May 9th, 2008 by admiralIf you tried to reach me in the past two days, then you may have realized that I was home and my mail server was not. This universe, or at least this portion thereof, did not come to a conclusion in my absence unless I am very much mistaken. Taking a page from Girdy, I have claimed all of the credit and none of the blame for this status. I am now three days behind in everything. It is as much my goal to catch up in the next few days as it was my goal not to fall behind in the first place.
Now, on to writing something that fits the title of this tirade. Synesthesia is a mixing of senses. That is a very simple and unlikely to be right definition which will be adequate for my stand up philosophy. So, what do I mean by Synesthetic art? Would it not be presumptuous and rude of you to tell me the subject of my tirade when I, myself, am lacking such and same knowledge?
I actually know what I meant to write when I typed that title and it fits the title. What I mean is a blending of arts. Joel, as I recall, writes based upon images. Until recently, I had never written to images. Right now, I am working on a story that I am writing as though somebody is showing me a series of flash cards and I am writing a story about the images.
Commonly, I write to feelings. That is very odd to people who know me and understand my aversion to having feelings. Your mileage may vary. I am writing this to ponder if artists often find their inspiration in arts outside of their own. Is the mixing of arts common?
Having played around so long, I do not have the space to explore this idea in any depth. It is just an interesting question that I leave for you to ponder on your own time. Do images inspire writers and writings inspire painters? Maybe what defines an artist is his vision of the world around him and he simply has to select one way of expressing his thoughts in order to say anything important. Maybe I should have left myself more space to look into this idea.
