For me, this course dissolved the boundaries of the senses. Here I map the relationships revealed between the senses. The Bouba Kiki effect that gives form to sound, or how music invokes colour. How the directionality and temperature and intensity of light can invoke textures from a distance. That taste, the mother of all senses, the first of our experiences in this world blends, in fact, all five together. And then, the outlier and most sensitive of the senses (only 5 molecules to trigger a nerve): Smell. I drew smell as a poche line that runs through all five as it bridges the senses through memory.
This gave rise to an image in reaction to DaVinci’s rationalist icon of western civilization, the Vitruvian man.
I instead, drew the Sensorial Vitruvian. Not just thinking, but feeling. Not just measuring, but sensing. Not just living, but being.
