<font size="2"><b>International Interdisciplinary Conference<br>

a theoretical addition to our ongoing exhibition series SYNAESTHESIA
(October 2012 – July 2013/ <a href="http://artlaboratory-berlin.org/home_eng.htm" target="_blank">http://artlaboratory-berlin.org/home_eng.htm</a>),
Art Laboratory Berlin plans an international interdisciplinary conference
to further explore and theoretically question the field of multisensory
perception.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The
term "synaesthesia", from the Greek "aisthesis"
("Sensation", "sensory impression") and "syn"
("together") means the experience of two or more sensory
impressions at the same time. Currently there is a strikingly strong
interest in the coupling of the senses in science, humanities and
in contemporary art. This should come as no surprise: Our daily
life in recent years has been subject to ever more multimedia and
multisensory experiences. Comparing the latest technologies in the
field of communication we come upon the radical technological development
during the last 25 years: music video (text, music, colour), computer
(as „total“ sensory object) and also newest multiple forms
of mobile phones (not only used for calls, but as a photo camera,
music player or text machine, etc.).<br>
<br>
It is the aim of Art Laboratory Berlin to grasp the specific impulses
of our current complex, synchronous and technologised society on
the phenomenon of synaesthesia, with its distinctive form of sensory
fluctuation. For the upcoming conference, we are interested in contributions
from all scholarly fields – humanities, arts as well as natural
and social sciences – regarding both historical positions and
contemporary inquiries. We are interested in contributions from
scholars on topics such as:<br>
<br>
<i>Synaesthesia and the neurological discourse (memory and cognition;
manifold connections of sensory perception); Synaesthesia –
between perception and subjectivity; Synaesthesia as a psycholinguistic
phenomenon (Synaesthesia and language); Synaesthesia from a philosophical
viewpoint; Synaesthetic modalities (Grapheme Synaesthesia; Synaesthesia
of Smell, Taste, Touch, Music, Colour, Form); Synaesthesia in Art
and Cultural History (in Visual Art, Literature, Film and Theatre
/ The phenomenon of multisensory perception); Synaesthesia and the
digital world (the phenomenon of synaesthesia in the 21st Century).</i><br>

speaker: Hinderk M. Emrich<br>

<br>
Conference Concept: Regine Rapp & Christian de Lutz, Art Laboratory
Berlin<br>
<br>
Scientific partner: AoN-Platform for Art and Neuroscience<br>
<br>
Location: Glaskasten, Prinzenallee 33 (next door of Art Laboratory
Berlin)<br>
<br>
<br>
The conference is to be considered as a theoretical addition to
the ongoing synaesthesia-exhibitions of which several artists will
also contribute to the conference. During the conference the guests
will be able to study the 4th and last show of the synaesthesia-exhibition
series – thus directly presenting the synergy between artistic
and scholarly research.</font></div>
