Present feeling, risk taking, alert concentration, and reaching limits of your body and mind, decision making on the spot interests me. The anarchy in extreme sports is similar to some of the art I'm looking at currently; I'm also looking into relationship of extreme sport and ADHD. I think desire to take risk is directly connected to an ADHD. if you're life is in danger and you're the one directing it to survive you have no choice but focusing on the moment with 100% focus. For an ADHD who naturally experience whirling of thoughts and emotion this is a relief to have clear mind. That's why these people either can't concentrate or they are hyper focus.
I believe artworks that provide material for more senses function better for these people, particularly those art works that are absorbing and don't allow audience to be absent in the moment of experiencing.
Here is study on emotions through extreme sports:
