Mirror-Touch Synaesthesia

Thresholds of Empathy with Art

Herausgeber: Martin, Daria

Beschreibung

People with mirror-touch synaesthesia feel a physical sense of touch on their own bodies when they witness touch to other people and often to objects. This book brings together essays and conversations by prominent neuroscientists, anthropologists, artists, art theorists, curators, film theorists, and philosophers, to explore this phenomenon.

Autor

Daria Martin, artist, has researched mirror-touch synaesthesia since 2008 and made it the centre of three films: Sensorium Tests (2012), At the Threshold (2014-2015), and Theatre of the Tender (2016). Martin's films, which have been exhibited around the world, aim to create a continuity between disparate artistic media (such as painting and performance), between people and objects, and between internal and social worlds. Solo exhibitions include ACCA, Melbourne; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the New Museum, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Kunstalle Zürich; and Tate Britain. Martin is currently Professor and Head of Artistic Research at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford. : In 2018 she won the Film London Jarman Award for "creating an eclectic and expansive body of work that has explored everything from dreams and mythology to technology and feminism".
