From Jan 27 through May 7 2006 The travelling exhibition "What Sound does a Color Make" Will be on the campus of UMBC in the Center for Arts and visual culture. The Exhibition features mostly video installation, focuing on the concept of synthesia, the idea of one sense stimulating another and vice versa in a cycle.
Self-Portrait of Paul (DeMarinis), by Jim Cambell, is my pick of the show, which recycles, amplifies, transforms and records sound through a system of LED lights. Other works range from interactive video which Tracks movement, recycles The information and presents it to the observer visually and audibly (Bondage, Atau Tanaka), to the standard dark room, projection/monitor and sound effects environmental installation. Rounding things out were a few older pieces, Full circle (formerly ring modulation), and Beatles Electroniques, which dispite thier age were some of my favorites.
For the most part, this show delivers what it promises, as all of the work blends and makes you aware of the connections between the senses. It also stands firm as a cohesive body of work.
