Director Statement

Apperception is the state where you attend to your own making sense of an experience, while it is happening. I created Apperception Light as a condensed tool for triggering synaesthesia and practicing apperception. It has 5 parts: ->Atemporal, Prototemporal, Eotemporal, Biotemporal, and Nootemporal. I produced Apperception Light to have a paperback version of my 2024 feature-length work "Apperception".
