i understand 'sensory overload' in the art context as a specific term that may be used simply to define a work that uses audio/visual stimuli to induce body exhaustion/trance/annoyance/daze (depending on the context and creator's/receiver's intention). the more immersed the body is, the more effective the overload is. part of it is cognitive (data being processed by the brain), part of it is culturally situated (consciously-selected data to be processed). this reasoning encourages the creator to use more abstract-like sound and visuals, as these may concentrate and dissipate the receiver's perception, decreasing predictability and augmenting overload potential. throughout its history, the field of visual music offers interesting cases.
Scot Artford's 'Static Room' is a good example of a piece working with sensory overload (especially when watched at the CineChamber, with 10 projected screens surrounding you and insanely loud sound that require ear plugs).
best,
