Synthesthesia is an interactive installation that produces a sound composition based on the collage created by arranging black and white paper pieces in various ways. The resulting visual collages form visual musical scores which are analyzed by Synthesthesia, an open-source software, in order to generate sounds and explore different sound properties.
