Vision and the other senses

Generally, vision are over the other senses, which is considered to be the noblest among our senses. But now we've paid too much attention on visual journey. While "man has not always been dominated by vision." As Lucien Febvre's said, "The sixteenth century did not see first, it heard and smelled... It was then that vision was unleashed in the world of science as it was in the world of physical sensations, and the world of beauty as well." . And it is also provided by 42 Robert Mandrou that "the hierarchy (of the senses) was not the same (as in the twentieth century) because the eye, which rules today, found itself in third place, behind hearing and touch, and far after them.".

These two pictures below is about the suppression of vision-- the fusion of vision and tactillity.

" In heightened emotional states and deep thought, vision id usually repressed."

"Vision and the tactile sense are fused in actural lived experience."

So, I intend to create a space that could suppress vision but strengthen the other senses' feelings.

In our daily life, vision actually needs the help of the other senses, such as touch. When sight detached from touch could not "have any idea of distance, outness, or profunding, nor consequently of space or body".
