A recurrence of words, notes, and memories, move sensations to impress new maps of feelings that constantly look and listen synaesthetically. Every sense and void is animated with a marker that is touched by an absence or a presence. With the senses as unscripted arrival and departure points, touch becomes the singular sense that seeps into every synaesthetic compilation. For A Haptic Score, the invited artists will explore these layers of touch with sound and memory while moving beyond the boundaries of established and predictable synaesthetic relations. The fleeting sensation of momentarily and simultaneously sensing two or more senses with touch will move as an undercurrent through the exhibition.
The boundaries of trying to differentiate the nature of senses gives way to a realisation of a conclusive yet seeding effect, touch. An inner touch, a perception that is least translatable and most involuntary in nature, is the strongest and most vulnerable point of the senses’ repository.
Through the presence and absence of the senses that linger in the margins of space and time, the exhibition will evolve beyond the space and artist’s work into a private feeling that begins to imagine presence and absence with sound, sight, and touch. It is in this imagined presence that a desire arises of returning to a notation for an immersion into synaesthesia through A Haptic Score.
