Art as a Communicator
If functioned as the language our mind would process the information quite differently. Therefore Art is underutilized in society. We truly fail to realize how a aid to help provide a non-addicting treatment to assist those with Autism. A way to increase the quality of life is right under our very nose. When studying the Viruvian drawing no discussion is made of the border. The picture actually is composed of two figures. One figure involves having the legs together with the arms held in a vertical position parallel with a horizontal earth. This is shown as a square border. With Autism it is important to deal with round geometries.This includes music and painting along with architecture. Our world larger embraces this cubic structure represented as a two dimensional square.The development of sensor fields in the shape of a sphere mimic the necessary geometry depicted in the sketch. The second figure may show another trajectory position when the legs are spread and the arms are raised. The hands of the subject are just above the corner of the square. They are, however; able to satisfy the geometry of a sphere. The figure that can trace out as sphere represents a five pointed star that contains the head pointing up.
The exploitation of sensor devices has never been addressed by the needs of the patient. Now is the time to use what had been developed. We must take advantage of what technology has to offer. This area allows the full benefits of translational medicine to a very old problem. How to execute the will and needs using the current state of the art of the sciences and engineering to assist the user in the creation of their own Art.
The near infra-red spectroscopy devices make it possible to develop smart devices that allow the patient to develop their own Art by way of emotion. By observing art work they in turn can respond to this work with their own Art.A translation of will and emotion into both sound and picture is possible. This means creation of art is no longer the restrictive province of the artist. The utilization as Art for language purposes enables the artist to assume the role of translator and shaman.
These machines allow the patient to learn and express themselves quickly. The therapist will work directly with the patient and see the immediate results of the therapy. The roles of artist and engineer become equally important.
Our emotional outlook can be described in terms of four fluids. The release and suppression and maintenance all depend on our exposure to Art. The rehabilitation and mental growth depend on the utilization of art. We ignore this because we obtain art through passive means. This includes architecture of our life spaces, the plays and films we are exposed to. The use of art can appear even in the advertisements we are exposed to. A dynamic style increases our intelligence and assists in recovery.
The area is wide open. Ways to assist can only occur by taking the first step. The lowly feedback instruments can serve as the sensor. When applied to the suitable device the mind and body can start the movement by thinking.The video above shows the potential of this work in rehabilitation from stroke, brain trauma, and learning disorders.
Urgent request for help is being sought.
This project for the development of art feedback devices to be used in autism education and brain trauma therapy is actively seeking donations.
