Confusion of the Senses is a stimulating and thought provoking event at the Toy Piano Gallery, organised in connection with the Musica Polonica Nova festival. It will take the form of a fifteen-minute session, during which a precisely defined number of participants will experience the mental state suggested b the title while perceiving an arranged structure of stimuli impacting their sense of hearing, vision, taste, smell, and touch.

The artists say that the reason for their project is their belief in the existence of correlations between sensory impressions and associations originating from these areas of human experience. Some combinations seem very obvious (for example, registering pulsations in an image can easily be translated into the expectation of the same pulsation in sound), while others offer broader scope for interpretation (for example, what sound or visual expression do we associate with the taste of lemon?).

The authors, Agata Zemla and Paweł Romańczuk, seek to discover universal expectations regarding the combination of empirical stimuli, in order to challenge the supposed order in the Confusion of the Senses session. The project therefore assumes the use of artistic expressions (sound, visual, kinetic) not so much to create a stage presentation in the traditional sense, but rather to enable favorable circumstances for the experience whose occurrence has been intended by the authors.
