As part of Seeing Music, a digital exhibition with interactive games & live events on music, communication and cross-modality, Charis Saitis will be participating in a live event, discussing how people associate colours and forms with sound, how human sensory experience varies across individuals, and how associations between the senses support uniquely human forms of communication like language and music. Live musicians will be improvising to drawings made in real time. Tickets are free but limited—you can reserve tickets on Eventbrite.

As part of the exhibition, C4DM student Ben Hayes has built a “timbre game” where people make timbres to match words: https://timbre.fun/: an interactive online experiment on the associations between sounds and words. Sounds familiar? This project was inspired by a paper by ACTORian Zachary Wallmark's and Ben’s own work.
