The multimodal integration of an immersive audiovisuals environment fabricates an interesting role in our spatial and temporal senses, which this emerges with new temporal synesthetic experiences.The union of images and sound creates the perception of artificial synesthesia. We explore the relationship between color, images, sound and its relationship with senses and perception.
“Emotive Skins” is a project in collaboration with Ani Liu. The project explores the relationship between cognition and physiology to harness the intelligence and processing power of the emotional brain. The Body and our emotions play a key role in the way make rational decision making. We develop a skin, which displays emotional physiological stress output. This is to program these affective outputs to reverse and have a better control of the cognitive and emotional loop.
Thomas is a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab. His research derives from his ambition to create seamless interactions between people and digital information, by giving extra perception and awareness using color and sound. This is possible by enhancing human communication and perception through the augmentation of human senses using technology, working together with Nobel Prize winner Frank Wilczek. Also, his visual work ranges from organically propagated systems to self-rhythm visuals with new technology. He also teaches workshops on creative coding, audio analysis, color perception using open source software and hardware. Furthermore, his creative work and interactive installations have been commissioned by festivals in Germany, Mexico, Italy and Portugal.
