The author, van Campen, explores synesthesia from both artistic and scientific perspectives, looking at accounts of individual experiences, examples of synesthesia in visual art, music and literature, and recent neurological research. What does it mean to '...hear music in colors, to taste voices, to see each letter of the alphabet as a different color?' What is synesthesia? It is not, van Campen concludes, an audiovisual performance, or literary technique, an artistic trend or metaphore. It is, perhaps, a hidden sense- a way to think visually, a key to our own sensitivity.
