ART & MUSIC MAGAZINE - Peter Wix. PETER WIX: I have always been a bit of a synesthete. Synesthesia is the condition - or gift - by which stimulation of one cognitive pathway switches on an involuntary secondary sensation or thought-image, a neurological mix and match process that can be fun, most definitely poetic, although occasionally tedious. Some people will hear a sound, jazz music for example, and think of vinegar. Others see colours as numbers. Reginald Perrin visualised a hippopotamus whenever his mother-in-law was mentioned. This is synesthesia. I have long associated faces with numbers. Come to think of it, the words fleet and sleek could never be number 5s either, so it looks like I've got word synesthesia too. Feet and inches, a genuinely Disparate Dan (sic) notion, is definitely a 5, whereas metres and centimetres would be a nice even 6, or maybe a two too (or even a tutu, huh?)
What fucked-up cognitive pathways, eh? Do you know the characters involved? This is how it works. The Art Of Sound.

Creative art installation by Leandro Erlich features what appears to be a real swimming pool with people walking beneath the surface of the water. To make the illusion, thin layer of water (only 10 cm deep) was suspended over glass. Below the glass, there is an empty room that visitors can enter.Fake swimming pools were installed at the PS1 Art Center in New York and the 21st Century Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan.
