Stendhal syndrome, Stendhal's syndrome, Hyperkulturemia, or Florence syndrome, is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with immense beauty in the natural world.

A new digital and interactive design exhibition is now open at the V&A in London entitled Decode: Digital Design Sensations. Julius Popp's "Bit.Code" examines how information on the Internet is presented and changes, how it is created and then dissipates and at what point in time we are able to absorb it.
