Tele-synaesthesia: presentation of a hypothesis
---Lecture by Doctor Hugo

Synopsis:The new media and the Internet enable us to experience different kinds of information which are of a specifically telematic nature and for this reason effectively differ from the usual forms of communication. By linking the concepts tele and synaesthesia to each other, we deal with the fact that the transmission of data creates a synaesthetic effect: tele-synaesthesia.

At the end of the 20th century, the practicable units of time have become digitalised, magnified, and incredibly accelerated. The modalities of our sensorial perception become interactive by means of electronic mechanisms of control and selection. A tele-culture is emerging, subjecting both the perceptual and the conceptual to—strictly speaking—continuous revision.

•  Interactive multimedia and electronic networks create uncharted possibilities of interconnection, thus enabling us to expand the reach of our sensorial perception.
•  The new interactive relationship between consciousness, body, senses and our techno-culture consists within and of the human experience as a purposeful subject/object that can be designed as a virtual body.
•  It is the start of the exploratory expedition of the (enhanced, extended) human senses (tele-senses) in cyberspace; consequently, tele-synaesthesia will constitute a new global challenge.

•  Tele-synaesthesia is the synaesthetic principle that is expanded and extended by means of the new media: the traveling senses.
•  Tele-transmission of images, texts, sounds, data, graphic and of other types of signals (tele-haptic experiences, speech recognition and emotional computers are at present being developed).
•  Tele-transmission of images, texts, sounds, data, graphic and of other types of signals (tele-haptic experiences, speech recognition and emotional computers are at present being developed).

2 Oct 2003 @ 18:51 by swan : Thanks, Synaesthesia is one of my
favorite subjects. I am working on a grant proposal for an artist grant and I am talking about how I want my work to be synaesthetic, multi-sensory. This is interested information to consider.  

2 Oct 2003 @ 18:52 by swan : BTW, it floors me to think that
synaesthesia is considered a pathology! I just think it is a part of us that has yet to wake up and that we all can experience the melding of the senses (drug free) and that is what I am hoping to achieve through my art some how.  

4 Oct 2003 @ 09:32 by martha : thank you Francis and Swan
for bringing this to my attention. It is a fascinating subject for me and one I can resonate with. I believe as we evolve and use more of our brains that tele-synaesthesia will become an ordinary part of each human.

Been out to the logs today and saw some stuff written by an ncn'er that is misleading and old thinking. When I read the words the colors that came forth were blacks and greys which tells me truth has been twisted. Also the sound was was like chalk rebelling against the chalkboard.  

10 Oct 2003 @ 04:42 by swan : Seems you are becoming synaesthetic!
the smell of burning tires would have been a nice addition, Martha.
