November 4 - December 31, 2005:
For some people, a stimulus to one of the five
senses evokes the sensation of another sense,
as when hearing a sound produces the visualization
of a color. For contemporary audiovisual
artists, the possibilities inspired by this phenomenon,
known as synesthesia, have expanded with
the advent of recent digital technologies that
translate all electronic media, whether sounds
or moving images, into the zeros and ones of
computer bits. The exhibition features several
sensuous new media environments fascinating
to technophiles and general audiences alike,
heightening awareness of human perception and
cognition. What Sound Does a Color Make?, curated
by Kathleen Forde, explores the fusion of vision
and sound in electronic media, and connects the
recent boom of digital audiovisual art to its
pre-digital roots by presenting a selection of
single-channel videos from the 1970s and contemporary
works by an internationally diverse
group of artists.
