Sinestesia is a sensorial experiment based on time perception during the wait.
Sinestesia is an experiment about senses and the time perception during the wait. Psychologically opposite colours are those pairs with maximum contrast according to our feelings and understanding. Therefore, col·lec seeked for relaxation on users mental states through warm and cold colours by generating a gap between their real time and their perceived one.
Through two light colours (red and blue) we wanted to influence people’s time perception.
Thus we built a room lab where there were just two buttons: “Start” and “Stop” and outside a projected chronometer. Participants challenge was to press the start button and wait two minutes inside this room with one of the colours stimuli . By the time they felt the two minutes had already passed, they could press “Stop” so outside, the chronometer would stop and so the stimuli inside. That is how participants could compare their perceived time, two minutes, with the real time projected outside the room lab.
The 200 people who went through the experiment were asked to write down the time they had spent inside , the colour they experience the wait and the feelings they experimented inside the room lab.
The analyzed results were the following.
