Can You Hear Your Drawing? Creating synesthetic experiences through an audio-visual web interaction
Get PDFThis research focuses on creating audio-visual web interaction inspired by the synesthetic experience. Synesthesia is a neurological condition where the processing of data by one sense activates others. This project hypothesizes that interactive digital artworks enable people to touch music, hear colours and expand their creativity and senses. They evoke synesthetic associations and activate certain senses’ vocabularies, and people start seeing a correlation between visual and audio experiences. This research explores the role of metaphor as a theoretical framework, conversational tool and design approach in the multimodal digital space. This project’s outcome is a web application that opens an empathic dialogue between people who experience synesthesia and those who are eager to learn what it is and what it is like to have it. Users can map their audio and visual senses’ associations by documenting and sharing them in the digital environment. This research applied research through design methodology by expanding the audience’s role from testing and observing to participating

Get PDFAssuming Data Integrity and Empirical Evidence to The Contrary
Get PDFBackground: Not all respondents to surveys apply their minds or understand
the posed questions, and as such provide answers which lack coherence, and
this threatens the integrity of the research. Casual inspection and limited
research of the 10-item Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), included in the dataset of
the World Values Survey (WVS), suggested that random responses may be
common.
Objective: To specify the percentage of cases in the BRI-10 which include
incoherent or contradictory responses and to test the extent to which the
removal of these cases will improve the quality of the dataset.
Method: The WVS data on the BFI-10, measuring the Big Five Personality (B5P), in South Africa (N=3 531), was used. Incoherent or contradictory responses were removed. Then the cases from the cleaned-up dataset were analysed for their theoretical validity.
Results: Only 1 612 (45.7%) cases were identified as not including incoherent
or contradictory responses. The cleaned-up data did not mirror the B5P- structure, as was envisaged. The test for common method bias was negative. Conclusion: In most cases the responses were incoherent. Cleaning up the data did not improve the psychometric properties of the BFI-10. This raises concerns about the quality of the WVS data, the BFI-10, and the universality of B5P-theory. Given these results, it would be unwise to use the BFI-10 in South Africa. Researchers are alerted to do a proper assessment of the
psychometric properties of instruments before they use it, particularly in a
cross-cultural setting
