Cymatics and Synesthesia

Watching the cymatics video for this blog entry it shows how sound can influence art.  It reminded me of the video I blogged about in my last post that we watched in class.  It is a great way for someone to find influence while creating an experimental film involving shapes.  It was fascinating to see what cymatics could potentially play a role in nature with as well as art.  While reading the wikipedia article on Synesthesia, it made me think how wonderful it would be to combined these two concepts and see what type of experimental art forms we could come up with.  Although the concept of Synesthesia is foreign to many, it is easy to relate to.  If sound and evoke a feeling and color can evoke a feeling then they are closely correlated.  In order to make sound visible through these concepts is something everyone needs to take into consideration when creating experimental films, especially if they would like to evoke a certain feeling that the audience should feel.
