| THE ART OF SYNCHRONICITY |  |

|
It is my conjecture that the art of audiovisual (film/album) synchronicity may eventually become part of a broader, overarching synchronicity art. As an example, before becoming involved with the synchronization of video and audio sources, I worked extensively -- and still do -- with what can be called map synchronicities. I've found that the techniques and methods used to uncover personal film/album synchronicities are quite similar in feel and structure to those involving working with maps as I do.My guess is that other types of artistic synchronicity are also being explored. Take the case of the recent phenomenon known as the Bible codes; is it possible that these are best described as some kind of synchronicity art? Could crop circles have anything to do with this subject? How about the now legendary Face on Mars? I would also perhaps include the Paul is Dead material in this category as well.
As noted on "The Kitchen Synchs" page, I gave up administrator duties for the busy "Film/Album Synchronicity Board" in the Fall of 2002, and directed interested parties to both the SynchBoard from the "Synchronicity Arkive" (a discussion board which "The F/A Synch Board" can be said to have emerged from, and now merges back into), as well as a new and potentially quite large collaborative site known as SynchronicityArt.com. Unfortunately, the latter site did not pan out. The Synchronicity Arkive, at present time early 2007), is still alive and kicking. Please visit!
Evolving a more comprehensive synchronicity art would also help put the intent element in proper perspective, as well as gestalt theory principles, another idea now widely applied to the perception of audiovisual synchronicities. A related concept is intertextuality, a term applied most often to experimental literature. I would also mention various forms of on-line glass bead games as a connected subject. Many newer subjects can be added to this list that have developed only in the last several years, or after the last major update of "The Ultimate Pink Floyd Synchronicities site."
