In this text, I want to affirm that we don’t look at images, that there are no such thing as external images to the human body, and that all images are mental—therefore internal to the human body because there’s where they are built. Having this as a premise I argue, drawing from artistic experience, for the possibility of imagining and actualising audiovisual artworks that, originating in a fusion of mental sonic and visual images, result as perceptual objects. I affirm the equality of the sonic and visual stimuli in intermedial artistic compositional processes in which both stimuli are composed simultaneously, without precedence, hierarchies, or paragone. This text is about experiencing the simultaneity of visual and sonic sensations, without precedence or primacy of one over the other, both in perceptual processes and in the processes of creation and reception.
