I personally would perceive it as a gift. And it would be hard not to have the consciousness of an artist with such a blessing of sense and stimuli.

Since it provides an added dimension to the experiences of senses I'd classify it as a gift before calling it a disease. As with anything that only select experience, I imagine there is a nuisance factor connected. The added depth of beauty and expression would seemingly override the distractions involved.

It isn't really either. Synthesis of perceptions is a chance for multiplicity to converge and create new personas... you could call it a gift, but with this gift comes a curse. It is a burden, as well as a tool. It can be useful, but also disorienting and distorting.
