MirrorTouch Synaesthesia: Thresholds of Empathy with Art,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The neurological condition synaesthesia (the mixing of the senses) has for over a century provoked thought about new ways of artistic seeing.In 'MirrorTouch Synaesthesia: Thresholds of Empathy with Art', a recently discovered manifestation provides a lens through which to reexamine contemporary art experience. People with mirrortouch synaesthesia feel a physical sense of touch on their own bodies when they witness touch to other people and often to objects. The condition is a rare yet recognizable form of heightened physical empathy: present in just 1 in 75 people, it is associated with an overactivation of the nearuniversal mirror (neuron) system. MirrorTouch Synaesthesia places mirrortouch, a social synaesthesia, at the center of dialogue between neuroscience, the humanities, and contemporary art theory and practice in order to explore, for the first time, its powerful potential as a model for the embodied and relational spectatorship of art.MirrorTouch Synaesthesia brings together essays and conversations by prominent neuroscientists, anthropologists, artists, art theorists, curators, film theorists, and philosophers, as well as mirrortouch synaesthetes, and through proximity, and crossdisciplinary dialogue, dissolves barriers not only between disciplines but between theory and experience. Essays and conversations find common ground not only in quantitative but also qualitative accounts of mirrortouch; the editor has conducted the first set of indepth, semistructured interviews with mirrortouch synaesthetes, which is available in excerpted form in the volume's appendix. This collection of thirteen conversations constitutes a performative project at the boundary between art and science that invites contributors to reconceptualize the ways that artworks invite us into relational, coconstitutional forms of spectatorship. Critically refiguring arguments about the 'social turn' in contemporary art that reject the traditional viewer as passive, MirrorTouch Synaesthesia expands the possibilities of what art we might call 'participatory', and enriches debates around the social agency of perception. In these essays, the blurred thresholds in mirrortouch between sight and touch, and between self and other, are redrawn for an interdisciplinary readership as newly sensitized boundaries between image and action, art and life.
