My arts installation on synethesia which is from the ancient Greek σύν (syn), "together," and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), "sensation," is a neurologically based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[1][2][3][4] People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.

18. syn·es·the·sia / syn·aes·the·sia (sĭn'ĭs-
thē'zhə)
n.
A condition in which one type of stimulation
evokes the sensation of another, as when
the hearing of a sound produces the
visualization of a color.
A sensation felt in one part of the body
as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in
referred pain.

19. the image
 Through a memory-like sleep state I am
aware of sensation of sound and image.
 I experience feelings of extreme
heaviness, almost
immobile, as if underwater, yet I can
breathe.
 As if looking through the lens
of a camera,
blurred with Vaseline, I see a potato-
like and toothpick-like image lying beside each
other.

20. the image
Something full of mass, thick and heavy.
Yet something thin, small and lightweight.
I experience feelings of paralysation.
I cannot move my arms or legs.
My breathing slows down as if I’m not breathing at
all.
My eyes are closed, yet they are open to see.

21. the environment
 Behind the images in front of me a yellow and
white checkerboard wallpaper.
 An image of my childhood in the room I
slept in around the age of 8.

22. the environment
 Above a windowless, borderless, dark
and starry fortress surrounds me.

23. the environment
 I am floating
in water. Almost like
weightless gravity, but I cannot move.

24. the sound
 The sounds are outside of my head, but not in the
distance.
 They penetrate my soul through vibrations.
 My brain makes sense of them – though they make
no sense. Sounds begin to overlap.
 It is a void, but not devoid of feeling or
emotion, as the sounds evoke a kind of trance-
like status.
