Topic

The topic of the exhibition is visual music and synesthesia. For “visual music”, we intend every representation to be only visual or audiovisual, suggested by the music. The correspondences between the visual and music can be the results of synesthetic perceptions (the visuals are the mental images suggested by the music); or the correspondences can be the result of studies on the analogies between the visual and musical languages (rhythms, tonality, texture, colours, etc.). The support of a narrative thread is not required.

Who can participate?

The call is for three categories of participants:

. Participant A: professionals (artists, musicians, designers and performers)

. Participant B: university (professors)

. Partecipant C: university (students or graduated within the last 24 months).

What can you submit?
