sensation

is in things themselves. It is a kind of aesthetic experimentation.

In this idiom, 'sensation' is not determined by representation, and is expressed through images and signs of another kind, which make of it a 'transcendental empiricism' or aesthetic experimentation with what is singular or new. Sensations are thus not to be confused with subjective states or with 'sensibilia' or 'sensationalism.' On the contrary, Deleuze is impressed when, against the Impressionist, Ce zanne says that the sensations are in things themselves, not in us... and he sees the violence of Bacon's 'sensations' as directed precisely against the cliche s of a photographic sensationalism. (Rajchman 2000: 134)

is not simply something an artist uses to create art, rather a sensation is also created, sculpted, composed, and written.

We paint, sculpt, compose, and write with sensations. We paint, sculpt, compose, and write sensations. (Deleuze and Guattari 'precepts, affects, concepts : 466)

 tells us what a thing is, whereas thinking tells us what it is that this thing is, and feeling, lastly, tells us what this thing is to us.

Sensation tell us a thing is. Thinking tell us what it is this thing is. Feeling tells us what this thing is to us. Carl Jung

is the effect of an object upon the faculty of representation.

The effect of an object upon the faculty of representation, so far as we are affected by the said object, is sensation. That sort of intuition which relates to an object by means of sensation is called an empirical intuition. The undetermined object of an empirical intuition is called phenomenon. That which in the phenomenon corresponds to the sensation, I term its matter... but that which effects that the content of the phenomenon can be arranged under certain relations, I call its form. But that in which our sensations are merely arranged, and by which they are susceptible of assuming a certain form, cannot be itself sensation. It is, then, the matter of all phenomena that is given to us a posteriori... the form must lie ready a priori for them in the mind, and consequently can be regarded separately from all sensation.
