=SYNAISTHE= (**SIN-**uh-stee)

Synesthesia - is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.

 Synaisthe will be an intermedia, movement based work, exploring the ways in which our sensory experiences are linked and associated through the physical pathways of our bodies. The performance will utilize a variety of visual technologies, primarily Infra-Red motion tracking software to control and manipulate virtual images in real performance time. The collaborative creation and manipulation of computer crafted imagery in Synaisthe is bringing not only the digital media but also the human hand behind it, to the forefront of this performance. Synaisthe will also include the use of a non-traditional projection surface, a large fabric element rigged with several alterable points, which will allow the performers to explore the material and create differing physical constructions throughout the piece.
