Jo Burzynska: multisensory explorer
Dr Jo Burzynska’s senses must cheer loudly when she falls asleep each night, for that’s the only time they get a break from their heavy workload.
"It's a platform through which I'll be sharing regular writing on wine and music outside of my academic publishing," says the sound artist, wine writer, multisensory researcher and consultant, who recently completed her PhD on the subject.
The series name, which Jo has used for previous projects, combines the Greek words 'oenos' - meaning wine - and 'aesthesis' - from sense perception, "with a nod to aesthetics and a play on synesthesia, the latter being the rare neurological condition in which stimulation through one sense triggers an experience in another".
