Synchronism
I have chosen to write my essay on the art movement Synchronism; this is mainly because I am interested in what the artists are acctually trying to portray: using shapes and colours to show the emotion and movement of music.
I have also learned that Synchronism is linked to a neurological condition called Synesthesia; this condition makes people react with a single sensory or cognitive pathway, e.g. sight, hearing, taste; which then leads onto an involuntary reaction from another sense. For some people this means that when music is playing, they can acctually "see" the music moving through the air, or when people read words they inherently associate particular words with certain colours, etc. I find this very interesting as well because Synchronism is in part trying to replicate the effects of a mental condition.
