There are 5 major sensory organs, or better known as the 5 senses. Sight, Hearing, Touch, Smell and Taste. We have realised through time and experience that our senses collaborate to give us an experience. They blend together, depend on each other and use each other to create a balance.
The question that arises out of this setting is that can one replace the other? Or if not entirely replace the functions, then just aid to produce better results when their functions intersect?
I am taking two of these senses to work on. Sight and Hearing.
The Dictionary defines 'to listen' as 'to give attention to a sound. The dictionary defines it well but, I'm left to wonder whether there is more to sound than what meets the ear! Don't visuals help balance out whatever we might have missed while listening?
I believe that visuals not only support the complexities of sound, but also intensify its effect. So, if they can intensify the effect of sound, if the sound were taken away, would they still be able to convey some of its meaning?
Can we really listen through Visuals?
