ABSTRACT

Synesthesia, a phenomenon where stimuli in one sensory modality involuntarily trigger experiences in another, presents a fascinating intersection of sensory perception. This paper explores the historical, theoretical, and artistic dimensions of synesthetic experiences, focusing particularly on the relationship between music and visual arts. It examines how synesthesia has influenced artistic creation and perception throughout history, analyzing various case studies of artists whose works exemplify this cross-modal experience. The paper also delves into contemporary trends and future directions in synesthetic art, highlighting the potential of digital technologies to expand our understanding and experience of this unique phenomenon.
