| Abstract | |
Recent technological advances opened new aesthetic possibilities in art, due to its potentiality to integrate several medias, codes and languages. Consequently, the traditional boundaries between artistic areas were dissolved and simultaneous stimuli to various senses were introduced. The occurence of the body and its cognitive aspects in interaction with computer codes is an irreversible fact in contemporary art, and its aspects and consequences have not been fully understood. This work aims to investigate, systematize and use the information about synesthesia in arts, highlighting the case of interactive art works connecting voice and image. Therefore, it was proposed: a) the study of the synesthetic phenomenon and how it is treated in both science and arts; b) the definition of voice; c) the search for aesthetic references in interactive arts addressing this issue; and d) the development of experimental works related to this subject. The adopted methodology consisted of: bibliographical review - with a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing references from neuroscience and other areas - , selection and analysis of contemporary interactive artworks adressesing aspects of synesthesia and the voice-image interaction, and aesthetic research based on experimental artworks. Our main results were: understanding the trajectory of the studies about synesthesia in science and updating the knowledge on the subject; notes on the context of synesthesia in art; the definition of voice as an embodied entity, related to all the senses included in the body unit; and the development of three experimental works of art, two collective works about synesthesia, and an individual one that explores the relationship between voice and visuality.
