AMIE// DEVELOPING IDEAS & QUESTIONAIRE ON SENSORY OVERLOAD// PRIMARY RESEARCH

Developing the theme of looking at 'sensory overload', I conducted a primary research task of sending a questionaire out to students at University, questioning them on their experience, if any, of sensory overload, what it feels like, where they experience and what kind of sensations they feel in their body.I made this video in response to the feedback I got back. 

WARNING: This video could potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.



I have developed another questionare, adding in some other questions I would like to explore in my research on this subject. It would mean a great deal if you could fill this one out for me.  

Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the senses becomes overstimulated in some way.

Do you experience it?
If so, I am interested in hearing some feedback on what you experience, when and what helps.
Please take your time to answer the questionaire and don't worry, your answers will be confidential and used as a research basis for creating video works using found footage. If you are not happy with this, then please do not complete the questionaire.

TRIGGER WARNING: please note, this could be triggering if you experience sensory overload.
Please only move on if you feel you can. 

Many thanks!

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.
