The phrases "fourth dimension" and "interchangeability of the senses" are often found together in discussions of art, particularly in relation to the impact of the New York Armory Show in 1913. This show, featuring avant-garde art, sparked a wave of interest in these concepts among artists and thinkers. 
Fourth Dimension: This refers to a concept in art and philosophy that goes beyond the three spatial dimensions of length, width, and height, suggesting a higher plane of existence or reality. It often implies a connection to the spiritual or mystical. 
Interchangeability of the senses: This idea suggests that the boundaries between our senses (sight, hearing, touch, etc.) can be blurred or even exchanged, leading to a holistic perception of reality. It's sometimes associated with synesthesia, where stimulation of one sense triggers a response in another. 
In the context of the New York Armory Show: Mabel Dodge, in her writings about the show, noted that it sparked discussions about these concepts, along with others like telepathy and occult phenomena, suggesting a broadening of artistic and intellectual perspectives at the time. This period saw a shift away from traditional, realistic depictions of the world and towards more abstract and symbolic representations that embraced these ideas about the fourth dimension and the interconnectedness of the senses. - Google AI Overview

'Like atonality and the absurd, the last shared by Dada and the 1913 Cubo-Futurist ‘opera’, Victory over the Sun, intuition was another path to ‘higher realities’. Such claims to a new cosmology and cognition (compare Cabalistic ‘restoration’ again) bolstered the ---wonder- working self-image, if not the clarity, of post-Decadent avant-gardes. In industrially backward Russia, where the electro- mechanical New Man was preferred to the Naturmensch, translations of Carpenter, the Theosophists, the American mystics, Yogi Ramacharaka, and Vivekananda supplemented Ouspensky.48 But not, in Vivekananda’s case, without gross bowdlerization. In his Raja Yoga (Russian translation 1906) Vivekananda wrote,

No books, no scriptures, no science, can ever imagine the glory of the Self, which appears as man ­the most glorious God that ever was, the only God that ever existed … I am to worship, therefore, none but my self. ‘I worship my Self’, says the Advaitist. ‘To whom shall I bow down? I salute myself.’

With Malevich, that becomes:

This is how I reason about myself and elevate myself into a Deity saying that I am all … and all that I see, I see myself, so multi-faceted and polyhedral is my being … I am the beginning of everything, for in my consciousness worlds are created. I search for God, I search within myself for myself.

The ‘new gnosis’ could clearly lead to a grandiosity surpassing Whitman’s.'

'By the twenties, these ‘immensities’ entailed a mix of syncretic India, Whitman’s ‘I, me monomania’ (Lawrence), Theosophical cosmology and Bergsonism, all of which dissolved the cogito in the ‘second state’ or the cosmos. Opposed to such cosmic mergers and ‘outpours of me’, --- a new, anti-Romantic/anti-Theosophical ingredient in the twenties controversy was a static eternalist Asia. Of Guénon’s Traditionalist devising, this was the quasi-Platonic Orient favoured by Coomaraswamy and Eliot, the first with his friendships in neo-Catholic circles, the second with his post- conversion admission of the Bhagavad Gita into his canon, alongside Dante’s Paradiso. Like Eliot’s, Coomaraswamy’s political ideal was a deferential neo-feudalism, based on the priority of caste and social loyalty or bhakti.

Political apocalypse and worldview, not spiritual practice, being the dominant focus (as likewise with Du Bois and Nussimbaum), Coomaraswamy shared his anti-dynamic Orientalism with other Guénonians, including Fritjof Schuon and Marco Pallis.'

'Modernist syncretism was now more fissiparous than before the war. A static or classic version of the Orient could accordingly be espoused without contradiction by the more cosmopolitan ‘reactionary modernist’ defenders of the pre-modern, pre-democratic and pre-materialist ---West. Rejecting Vivekananda’s and Aurobindo’s neo-Hindu revivalism, and dismissing Theosophy as  ‘counter-initiatic’, Guénon enlisted ‘traditional’ Vedanta to support a strict ancien régime conservatism. In like vein, Eliot, his Harvard mentor Irving Babbitt, Coomaraswamy and Pound savaged modern heresy, Romantic subjectivity, Theosophy and Taoism respectively, while idealizing the Indian classics, Pali Buddhism, Brahminism and Confucianism. Though he shared Massis’s anti-Bergsonism, Lewis described Défence de l’Occident as the defence of a ‘corpse’.

But he, too, admitted a ‘classical’ Guénonian Orient into his version of ‘call to order’:

‘Classical’ is for me anything which is nobly defined and exact, as opposed to … fluid ­ of the Flux ­ without outline, romantically ‘dark’, vague, ‘mysterious’, stormy, uncertain … The opposition … is … universal; and the seeds of the naturalist mistakes are … to be found precisely in Greece … we should use the Classical Orient (… in the sense of Guénon) to rescue us … from that far-reaching tradition.'
