Amie // Developing & finding footage // The Macro Room

Macro shooting provide immersive perspectives. Here are some videos I found by Macro Room that feel relevant to my narrative of imbuing the senses.

"There are also commonly noted psychological effects of color as it relates to two main categories: warm and cool. Warm colors – such as red, yellow and orange – can spark a variety of emotions ranging from comfort and warmth to hostility and anger. Cool colors – such as green, blue and purple – often spark feelings of calmness as well as sadness."(arttherapyblog, 2022)



 

The multi-colours in this videos could imbue all sorts of emotions and feelings. How does colour effect the sense of taste and smell? "This question pertains to the condition known as synaesthesia. This condition describes how our senses work together. For example - with respect to sight, taste and smell - seeing a color may evoke any number of other sensations. Green may be evocative of the smell of grass, lemon yellow may evoke a sour taste. This is best understood by the fact that each sense has a pathway to the brain. These paths are parallel to each other."(colourmatters, 2022)

I will be using this footage and editing it into my videos somehow to imbue the sensations.


Process for finding footage - searching YouTube.

My work explores the relationship between the co-operation of the senses and human consciousness; how humans interact with the world and in particular recording my interaction with the world through video, sound, sculpture, and installation and then creating an unusual way of viewing that world. When we interact with our environment, we use our senses to navigate not only our outside world but also our inside world. Our perceptions of our outside world can be altered by what is occurring in our inside world; our emotions, learnt behaviors, memories and everything that makes us human. As an artist I explore the relationship between the body, technology and nature by challenging the senses and perception of the viewer. By exploring the way humans interact with the world around them, I create multi-sensory installations using video and sound, how the video can be used as a medium and how the audience themselves become the medium and process for my discovery.
