Our inner worlds hold a repository of feelings, desires, thoughts, and memories that lie outside the boundaries and linearities of conscious awareness. Many of our deeply internalised experiences are accessed through our somatic, sensory memory, awakened by sensations, sounds, textures, and images. Frisson (French for shiver ) describes the phenomenon of “aesthetic chills” or psychogenic shivers—an unanticipated psychophysiological response to sensory stimuli; an acutely visceral sensation triggered by momentary feelings of thrill, pleasure, wonder, and awe.
In Lush we explore a sonic and visual embodiment of this mysterious, psychophysiological sensation, through a shifting, dissolving immersion of colours, forms, textures, pulses and vibrations. ‘
L U S H is a three channel video and quadraphonic audio composition: artworks were created through a hybrid process of integrating hand-drawn, tactile analogue forms with experimental generative processes; triggered by music, noise and sonic textures.
