Synesthesia

Alida Sun

Synesthesia is a generative audiovisual performance made with code, noise, light, surveillance, and a ritual practice of over 1,500 days of generative artmaking.

The artist’s somatic data is captured via infrared tracking and transformed into geometric sound structures, inviting listeners & viewers to discover a divergent sensory experience.

Synesthesia explores how code and digital art can become embodied, extending our physical senses while abstracting human representation in the age of algorithms & Big Data.

Bright palettes and playful movements also challenge stark colorless conventions in noise art and contemporary art, highlighting joy and play as essential elements of resistance.

Featured in Sonic Alchemy, an online exhibition presented by Unit London that sheds light on the ever-increasing entanglements between music, visual art and computer science.
