MuVi6 International exhibition of videos on synesthesia and visual music is part of the VII International Congress Synaesthesia: Science & Art, a 3-day event organised by the University of Granada, the International Foundation Artecittá and the Politecnico di Milano University exploring the latest advancements made in the field of synaesthesia. Aotearoa artists Raewyn Turner and Brian Harris, together with Swiss scientist Toni Fröhlich, present Sensing Nanos, a series of art experiments exploring synaesthesia, pareidolia and feeling emotions in ambiguous things, namely potatoes and shaving cream.
“As the [shaving] foam bloomed and then collapsed over time I saw faces expressing emotions. The expressions corresponded with musical notes which I then scripted for the resulting time-lapse video, and overlaid with text excerpts from Plato’s writings on Socrates dialogues on friendship and the influence of friends in shaping each other’s evaluative outlook”. - Raewyn Turner.
