“A strange multiplicity of sensations seized me, and I saw, felt, heard, and smelt, at the same time; and it was, indeed, a long time before I learned to distinguish between the operations of my various senses.”

In this passage, Mary Shelley writes about the first moments of Frankenstein’s monster gaining consciousness. How does it feel to experience the world anew? What do your first impressions conceal and what do they reveal? 

In this study, amid a world of noisy and flattened sensations, we will put ourselves in the "monster's" shoes, and play with seeing the world as if for the first time.
