#56 - Daniel O'Toole - Seeing Noise: Turning Perception Into Art

Daniel O’Toole is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sound and moving image. Known for his vibrant abstractions and experimental approach, O’Toole explores the intersections of sensory experiences. His work often bridges visual and auditory realms, creating immersive environments that challenge how we see and feel art. His latest exhibition, Noisy Eyes, draws directly from his experience of Visual Snow Syndrome, translating the condition’s static and perceptual noise into immersive visual and sound works.On this episode we explore how Daniel O’Toole translates his experience of Visual Snow Syndrome into immersive art, how his practice bridges painting, sound, and sculpture into multisensory environments, what synaesthesia and sensory crossovers reveal about creative process, how the Light and Space movement informs his approach to environment and perception in his work, why risk-taking and evolution are essential to sustaining an art practice and how experimenting with tools can open up entirely new creative directions and so much more.Follow Daniel on Instagram: @daniel.otoole----Follow Future History on Instagram: @futurehistory.coFollow Wayne Lim on Instagram: @hausofwayne
