This is an interesting short piece that visualises one of the things that many people with Autism experience. It’s part of a bigger trans media project attached to research about Autism called ‘Interacting with Autism Project’ More info below:

Some people with autism have difficulty processing intense, multiple sensory experiences at once. This animation gives the viewer a glimpse into sensory overload, and how often our sensory experiences intertwine in everyday life.

Created as part of Mark Jonathan Harris’ and Marhsa Kinder’s «Interacting with Autism.» Coming in January 1st 2013, IWA is a three-year transmedia project funded by the federal Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ). University Professor Marsha Kinder, the Executive Director of the Labyrinth Project at USC, and Mark Harris are heading a team of filmmakers and artists working to build an interactive, video intensive website that will focus on the best available treatments for autism.

50 documentales que cambiarán tu visión del mundo

Hace casi 9 meses atrás me aventuré a realizar una recopilación de los que consideré eran los documentales que más me habían impactado y, con ello, cambiado el modo en el que veía el mundo. Con la ayuda de los fans de United Explanations en Facebook elaboramos una lista de los 25 documentales que creímos mejor cumplían con esta transformadora visión de la realidad que nos rodea. Tras numerosos comentarios y nuevas, y más que interesantes propuestas, he decidido extender la lista de 25 a 50 documentales que muy probablemente cambiarán tu forma de ver el mundo. Aquí los listamos a continuación. Evidentemente, esta lista puede ser extendida con tu opinión, por favor siéntete libre e invitado/a a dejar un comentario con otros documentales que consideres imperdibles.

Ah! the experimental seventies! This funny short animated doc gives an account of what its like to play baseball under the influence of mind altering drugs. Towards the end of the animation the simplified frame rate comes into its own as a means to expose the narrators experience of judgement.
