Prismaphonik

A stroll through a symphony of colours

Take a stroll through this majestic symphonic installation that reacts to your presence. You’ll discover different facets of colours and music in perfect harmony! Prismaphonik is inspired by synesthesia, the rare and amazing ability to “see” sounds as colours. In this giant orchestra, each prism represents a musician playing their own score. Interestingly, the work performs a real-time calculation of the harmonic ratios in its musical repertoire and transposes them onto the colour wheel to project colours and play music symbiotically.
