audiovisual research
In this case, audiovisual research means small documentaries, music, animations and other related videos and/or sounds.
L: the poetic vibe going on in this video gives me such a sentimental feeling.
S: Transcience. People don't know that life goes by so fast.
L: these are amazing animations! Very clear explanation, introducing me to the phenomena of rewiring!
S + L: trauma is irreversible because it rewires your mind and then this leaves an imprint on how you go on with your day/life.
S: *A vanitas is a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, often contrasting symbols of wealth and symbols of ephemerality and death.*
*Best-known are vanitas still lifes, a common genre in Netherlandish art of the 16th and 17th centuries; they have also been created at other times and in other media and genres.*

This link leads us to a page where multiple musea are showing their work online: maybe it can be inspiring sometimes!
L: This is a video about how Buddhism handles anxiety and how they try to tackle panic attacks. This video wasn't that relevant because of the focus that is lying on panic attacks, but I feel that panic attacks are a form of rewiring in the brain. I mean with this that when you encounter something that triggers you, you get a panic attack instead of keeping y9our calm before the trauma.
L: I looooove this band and this song is so good in my opinion and I wanted to bring some kinda positive vibe for us to listen to (only if you want of course!!) (but with a more saddy text, fits the theme HAHA) <3
S: Always here for the positive vibessss
S: speaking of funny hahaha
L: some light in the dark.
L: This artist has lived during the World War 2, and while he says his paintings do not have any hidden meaning and do not mean anything, for me it feels like it is a form of visualizing the trauma you've had in a certain way (for him: horror painting). What I found interesting about these paintings is that they show a lot of influences of war meanwhile the painter says there is no meaning or thought process behind it. The painting style is not necessarily my cup of tea although I love distorted bodies and images, his pictures I find rather meaningful for me. (Very basal explanation haha, I am sorry!)
''Zdzislaw Beksinski was a Polish horror painter that reacted to the horrors of war that he saw around him.'' - text underneath the youtube video
L: We can freeze, fight or flight during and/or after a traumatic event. This feeling can stay with you. So when you are triggered by something like a sound or noise, you will get back in the mode you had during the traumatic event.
L: In this video the woman talks about how you can rewire your brain yourself; for instance, using this 'fear ladder' and climbing it yourself: a very positive approach regarding anxiety and trauma where she says: 'the spoiler is, you will survive while facing your anxiety'
L: About changing memories (in my mind, that is a form of rewiring, but I am not a neurological scientist of course).
