Description: Ben Harrison has been creating a new body of work that explores experiencing chromesthesia, a phenomenon where sounds, such as music, trigger the perception of colors. While studying the relationship between color and sound frequencies, he developed a mathematical equation with Professor Brian Rashap at CNM, that converts sound into colors. For his City Brights installation, a downtown glass brick wall becomes an animated canvas of LED light, color and sound. Passerby activate the wall with their voice and other sounds. The wall responds in real time as soundwave signals are processed through a computer program and instantly transformed into corresponding colored lights behind the glass.
