Abstract
We investigate the higher dimensions, also known as “hyperspaces”, and the ways of approaching them by studying the capabilities of the human senses and from the perspective of Art, Technology and Science. In particular, we explore the way in which humans perceive the three-dimensional space based on the data acquired by the sensory organs and their processing of the brain. We analyze the concept of dimension both in its familiar form and in the field of Science, Mathematics and Physics, with emphasis on the theories of existential and imaginary worlds. The geometric approach of the fourth spatial dimension is studied through mathematical logic and the properties of simple geometric hyper-solids are examined. We also examine the history for the search of higher dimensions and the dissemination of the theory of the fourth spatial dimension to the general public via Art and Literature. The relationship between the hyperspaces and Modern and Contemporary Art is briefly analyzed from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. This leads to the main theme of our research: focusing on the ways different artists and scientists approached the hyperspatial perception, is it possible to improve this perception by employing, to start with, innovative audiovisual technology? In particular, we propose: (a) an interactive art installation for approaching the hypersound, with reference to the Varèse and Helmholtz description, but also in conjunction with gravitational waves, (b) an artistic approach to connect Johan Van Manen’s intuitive “hypersphere” with the Quantum Geometry of String Theory, which leads to a new cosmological model and (c) an interactive art installation visualization the hyperspace resulting from our evolution of the Hinton’s colored cubes method.
