Quite possibly my favorite communal art video project from this year, Advanced Beauty is a collaboration of video and sound sculpture.
Inspired by sound → color synesthesia, in which people experience colors in response to tones or other aspects of sounds. There are two categories of this type - narrow band → color synesthesia and broadband sound→ color synesthesia. Narrow band uses the timbre or key to provoke particular color experiences. Broadband also includes a variety of sounds such as a doorbell or a window opening that will elicit visual experiences.
I often think in color, which could be a form of this phenomenon. It's stimulating, although it can make it difficult to translate my thoughts into speech sometimes.
