Bryan Lewis Saunders is a performance artist, poet and videographer. There is one piece that Saunders made a name for himself with and is the piece I am going to talk about. In his own words, Bryan said "After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of self. So I came up with another experiment where everyday I took a different drug or intoxicant and drew myself under the influence." The outcome of Bryan's pictures really are something quite disturbing which is why I believe it got so much attention. The reason why I've included Bryan's work in my research is because I wanted to show how the brain can perceive things differently when under the influence or 'sudden change' happens. This is basically what I want to happen to my subjects when the participate in my idea. The aim is to have the subject cancel out one of their senses (sight) which will then hopefully enhance another sense (hearing) which will paint a much cleaner picture in the subjects mind when listening to the music.
