"Synesthesia" is a first in a series of exhibitions organized by island6 over the next five months that focuses on the way in which studies of consciousness have inspired artworks created by the collective Liu Dao. Following this first show will be exhibitions exploring themes such as paranormal studies, ethnopharmacology, evolutionary theory, lucid dreaming and finally an exhibition on the various ways that artists have expanded and dealt with the notion of time in relation to different states of consciousness. The series will begin to cover the major approaches in consciousness studies, including psychology, parapsychology (in particular hypnosis, hallucination, automatic writing and hyperesthesia), philosophy, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience and spiritual approaches.
