Apophania is the tendency to perceive connections between seemingly unrelated things. The visual and the aural are separate modes of perception: we typically cannot see sounds or hear colors. Yet, we tend to correlate certain aural qualities with seemingly unrelated visual qualities. A synth wash can seem to pair with a billowing sheer curtain; quick stuttering changes in volume can seem to correspond to ripples in the water. Apophanies is an ongoing series of videos exploring the perceived connections (and disconnections) that we tend to make between the aural and the visual.
