Synesthesia

Literally translating to “together sensation”, Synesthesia is a type of perception where one sensory experience triggers involuntary activity in a different sense. An example would be tasting a certain flavor when specific music notes are heard. Here, the sense of flavor is crossed with the sense of sound. In her exhibition The Golden Hour, in the Main Gallery at the Schneider Museum of Art, Mel Prest describes her desire to create a conversation between the senses with her work.

Depth Perception in Art

Have you ever seen a painting that looks more like a doorway to a new land? That was good depth in action. The concept of depth perception in art varies from artform and movement. Japanese artists thought that part of the beauty in art came from the acknowledgement that the work was on a two dimensional paper.

The Cubism movement emphasized creating the illusion that you were among the shapes, focusing on the way shading and placement created a three dimensional effect. Petra Sairanen’s piece Dancing Lessons 5 in the exhibition Sensate Objects, occupying space in Heiter and Treehaven Galleries, is an example of the Cubism school of thought, layering colored lines of different opacity to create the illusion of spatial depth.

Apple and its Impact

In the age of technology, many companies have come and gone. In this market competition, no one is doing quite as well as Apple. From one of the first home computers to the newest iphone, Apple has been a cornerstone of innovation for the past 40 years since its creation. The impact of their technology is obvious.

On display at the Schneider Museum of Art, you can see the humble beginnings of this empire with the original prototype of the Apple-1 motherboard. With hand-soldering work done by Steve Wozniak, this piece of modern history stands as a reminder of what is possible. Learn more about the evolution of Apple with the link below and come see this astounding work in our Entry Gallery today.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
