Sensory Symphony: Embracing Neurodiverse sensory perception through Immersive Art

Sensory Symphony: Embracing Neurodiverse sensory perception through Immersive Art

My Immersive art practice explores diverse sensory lived experiences.

As a neurodivergent artist, I'm constantly exploring how my unique cognitive, sensory, and perceptual experiences shape my world. My abstract and immersive art is my way of giving those experiences a voice. It's about transforming moments of cognitive overload into something beautiful, creating sensory-rich environments where audiences can connect with their own perceptions.

I use light, sound, and texture as tools to evoke emotion, inviting people to consider sensory perception in new ways. Ultimately, I want my art to spark meaningful conversations and advocate for a more inclusive understanding of how we all experience the world differently.

Two side-by-side views of a dreamy, geometric art installation featuring hanging white paper pyramids and prisms, illuminated by soft, iridescent lights. The lighting on the left is pink-purple toned, while the lighting on the right is more golden and pastel. Reflected light patterns and abstract cutouts create a whimsical, kaleidoscopic atmosphere across the walls and floor.

Aims of the project

This funding will help me to work towards my future goal, to create an immersive art space focusing on neurodiverse sensory experiences.

I have extended my arts practice into the immersive arts over the last year and would now like to explore interactive elements such as projection mapping, soundscapes, and tactile materials to engage multiple senses to enhancing audience emotional connection.

The immersive aspects could include dynamic lighting that reacts to audience movement, sensory installations that invite touch and smell, and audio experiences that adapt based on participant interactions, to bring a deeper understanding of how atypical sensory processing can impact the lives of neurodivergent people.
