New Tools for Organizing the Sensorium Sensorium

The theme "Sensorium" is pulled from Walter Ong’s Presence of the Word (1967). Ong was a cultural and religious historian, philosopher, and protégé and friend of Marshall McLuhan.

Man's sensory perceptions are abundant and overwhelming. He cannot attend to them all at once...It is useful to think of cultures in terms of the organization of the sensorium...the entire sensory apparatus as an operational complex. -- Walter Ong, Presence of the Word (1967).
