Art & Synesthesia Research:
extending the synesthetic code
- Intro: Welcome to the 'Art and Synesthesia' site of Dr. Hugo Heyrman, Ph.D. in Art Sciences. Are synesthetes people of the future? —to answer this question, and as a consequence of my scientific and artistic passion for Art and Synesthesia, I created this portal on Synesthesia, online since 1995 —to present relevant sources on the art & mind connection, theory, experiments and research on the future of the senses. Homepage of the 'Belgian Synesthesia Association' (BSA).
- Mission: To explore the multisensory interactions of synesthesia. To connect synesthetes and their synesthetic experience with interested non-synesthetes worldwide. To develop a synesthesia culture by connecting art and synesthesia. To promote study, research and understanding of synesthesia in educational, social, cultural and artistic contexts.
