the prioritisation of illogical, irrational

Well, Wells, you sure know how to lay things out. you're very smart, thoughtful, edumacated. And to me, nearly inspiring. You used one word that got my ticker beating a little faster, and my brain gears churning - materiality. yes. That is what separates orthodox animation from experimental animation for me. I don't really give a darn whether something is hand drawn, made from clay or from cut outs. I don't really give a darn if it has a narrative or if it has a hidden deeper meaning. I want the texture, the decision to explore the means of creation, the choice to go about something the wrong way, I want the results to give the human sixth sense a little tap on the shoulder. So, yeah, Disney movies are orthodox, normal, commercialized, blabbityblah, but I believe, and I think/I hope Wells believes that a Disney movie could be taken by a boundary-less artist, an animator with no limits, no signed contract to do as she or he is told, just the priority to be a little irrational, and it could be transformed, it could find a new musicality, reach a high level of abstraction, and most importantly embrace the way in which it was created over the why for which it was created.... pride in materiality. illogical creation. the prioritisation of animation.

one is white

two is yellow.
three is orange.
four is pink.
five is red.
i cannot see six's color.
seven is green.
eight is blue.
nine is purple.

I called Jacob Mertens a few weeks ago to exclaim over the phone that my bizarre number to color relation had a psychological name. I had been listening to NPR and happened to catch the tail end of an interview with a musician who could visualize her music due to something called Synethesia. She also saw each number as possessing an individual color.

Like the wikipedia article about neurological synethesia mentions, I was unaware of this grapheme->color association was unusual until I slowly began to realize that others did not have the same experience. I finally surveyed fellow students when I was fifteen and found out that I was seemingly alone in this experience.

But that's just neurological.
Synthesia in art is very different.
I'm new to this word, this concept, so my thoughts on the topic are scattered.
The brain is a powerful thing, and the world is a complex organism, and all things are one.
One person expresses the experience they have due to a certain stimulus, this expression stimulates experiences in thousands.
