텍스타일 디자인에 나타난 공감각적 표현연구

Since 20th century, art and design has been actively combined with Media and Network by various methods of interaction. Moreover, as Pluralistic culture and relative perspective became important in Modern Society, textile designs with sensibility technology and synesthesia are being grafted onto a various design parts. Starting from the understanding that many textile designs grafted onto electrical media have relations with synesthesia, this study researched the general idea of synesthesia, recognition process and synesthetic types. Based on this, expression methods of synesthetic textile designs were analysed by cases. Synesthetic types were classified into auditory vision, haptic vision, visual hearing, visual touch and auditory touch. And each category was analysed as follows. First, auditory vision was expressed variously by converting the light energy into acoustic energy. Haptic vision was represented by showing the visual images on fabrics and in spaces using light emitting diode. Also visual hearing was represented by showing the visual images responded to sounds. Haptic hearing was expressed by various methods in that acoustic energy affects textile patterns by using digital devices and networks. Visual touch employed various methods to change textile images by touch. Finally, auditory touch was represented by various methods to create the sound by touch using the textile interface. Therefore, combined with media technologies, synesthetic textile design shows interaction and three-dimensional images and could be applicable to sensibility industry connected with various human senses.
