An art gallery with a vision to emulate a voluntary synesthetic experience.
The motivation behind this installation, is to provide a vantage point into the life of people with the type of synesthesia, who experience color as sounds.
It is also a take on how Neil Harbisson, a color-blind artist, experiences color as sound.

This app expects a REACT_APP_PROXY variable declared in your environment. Its value should be the address of a CORS proxy server we'll use to request some resources from the API. This server forwards our resource request to the API and serves the reponse back to our app with Access-Control-Allow-Origin added to its HTTP headers. In the live site we're using a Heroku app spined up with this recipe.
The site is hosted in a free tier of Heroku, so please be patient on loading. If you get Application error please reload.
