Wired Weird

To me, Thursday is a blueish purple, and August is a dusty red. Wednesday is light green, the number 6 is golden yellow, and earl grey tea tastes light blue.

My undergraduate thesis is an exhibit about synesthesia, a neurological condition where multiple senses are experienced simultaneously.

Using my graphic and informational design background, and working through the lens of experience design, I created an exhibit to show some facets of synesthesia from different perspectives.

There are four parts to the exhibit. 'Intro' explains what synesthesia is, and showcases how I see letters in color. 'Famous Synesthetes' explores the experiences of well-known synesthetes through their own words. 'Music in Color' is a selection of my personal drawings and paintings of music, both songs and artists' vocals. 'Magnetic Wordbuilder' is an interactive station with a magnetic board and hundreds of painted letters and weird words, so that everyone, through play, could experience spelling in color.
