SENSORIAL AND TEMPORAL INTERCONNECTIONS IN THE MESSAGE OF ARTISTIC COMMUNICATION
SENSORIAL AND TEMPORAL INTERCONNECTIONS IN THE MESSAGE OF ARTISTIC COMMUNICATION

Summary/Abstract: The paper looks over some cross-cultural and cross-modal hypostases of art reception. Correspondences, quest for meaning and natural or cultural substitution are adjacent to some less known sensorial particularities which, accidentally or not, are mirrored in cultural projections too. The accustomed use to characterise a visual object by hearing terms or vice versa opens to more subtle connexions between senses and brings again in the core of opens a discussion regarding connexions between senses with connotations as well psychological as cultural. The (real) synaesthesia and its opposite (fictitious) sensorial split both find in cultural history a common sphere which provides meaning and inspiration for art creators. A rather brief mention of some temporo-spatial distortions brings on the issues of the contemporary artist and, hopefully, opens a perspective for a further debate.
