Out of Box

音樂與繪畫兩者間有著強烈關聯，能予人共同的感受即「藝術聯覺」——聽覺上接受到的刺激能轉化為視覺效應，反之亦然。而如今聯覺一詞因各種新媒體與感官刺激，包括許多不同的現象在內，所以我們能用來解釋的一個更準確但不太常見的術語可能是「抽象概念引發的感覺」，一切知覺活動聯繫著預測，從而聯繫著比較。

從聽覺抽象到視覺圖式化的過程，身為藝術創作者，「觀看」意味著猜測外在的某種東西，搭建出「此處到彼物之經驗」。這般帶著我個人意識的視角重現另一份藝術形式，或許產生刻意選用、挪去或添加。同時，面對另一位音樂藝術家時，思考如何以素材、織紋規律解釋韻律類似性，製作能為敘事服務的視覺背景，提供解讀的線索。

Music and painting share a profound connection, offering a common experience known as “artistic synesthesia”—where auditory stimuli can be transformed into visual effects, and vice versa. Today, the term synesthesia encompasses a wide range of phenomena influenced by new media and sensory stimulations. A more precise yet less commonly used term to describe this might be “sensations triggered by abstract concepts”—a process in which perceptual activities are linked through prediction, and in turn, through comparison.

As an artist, the process of abstracting from auditory sensations to visual schematization makes “seeing” an act of guessing at something external, constructing an “experience of moving from here to there.” This reinterpretation of one art form through the lens of personal awareness might involve intentional selection, removal, or addition. At the same time, when engaging with the work of another musical artist, I reflect on how to interpret rhythmic similarities through materials and patterns of texture, crafting a visual backdrop that serves the narrative while providing cues for interpretation.
