- Abstract: 200-500 words
- Intermedial dynamics between art and science find a resonance with self-organizing processes in the human nervous system. Although its merit in ordering our thought is indeterminate, the intermedium, as a process of affect, is crucial to the genesis of thought. This principle introduces: 1) a new chemistry of the intermedium's affection between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Richard Carter Higgins; 2) thought experiments in digital media related to mathematics and neuroscience; 3) lenticular images' visceral affect on the viewer; 4) correspondences between intermedial processes and autonomic responses to novelty, exhibited in Entanglement: Intermedial Affects between Art, Philosophy, and Science.
