Ideasthesia
video, 1:56″
2013
The word “ideasthesia” is a phenomenon in which the activation of ideas evokes perception-like experiences. The term is etymologically derived from the ancient Greek verb idea (idea) and aisthesis (sensation), referring to “sensing concepts.” The project explores how we sense things without actual stimuli, but through the intensive imagination and association in both visual and auditory levels. It is composed of two video works in which a cellist plays the cello without the actual instrument, meaning “air cello” by using her imagination. It was installed in the form of video installation in front of The Studio For Creative Inquiry in CFA.
