Synesthesia Response

I found this reading to be kind of difficult to comprehend. I did find it interesting to read about medical studies that show possible connections between neurological synesthesia and historical artists. This is a type of art and inspiration that I have never considered before, and it was interesting to read the stories of the artists' experiences.

There were some examples that I felt like I could someone understand, but some of them seemed a little too abstract for me. The story behind the Vision piece was something I could imagine happening, because we all see shapes and colors when our eyes are closed, and maybe the experience is different during a process such as acupuncture. The piece titled Vivaldi however, was way beyond anything I can imagine being plausible. I cannot imagine listening to an orchestra or any music for that matter, and coming up with a painting like that. I cannot imagine certain notes feeling like certain colors or a particular pattern to be painted. It is kind of neat to read about people that do have these unordinary experiences, especially when this connection has been studied and has intrigued artists for hundreds of years.
