The opening reception for SYNAESTHEISIA: What is the taste of the color blue? was held on September 23, 2017. The Building Bridges Art Exchange Gallery was packed the whole evening with over 600 people enjoying the interactive art, music, and things to do. IASAS sponsored this collaboration which included BBAX and Art Sci Center at UCLA.
As our guest approached the entrance to gallery, the front patio featured a delightful accent to the evening. This was a keyboard performance from taste to sound synaesthete songwriter, Portrait XO, who composed live music from the tastes wines and foods. Jennifer Gleizer, also a sound to taste synaesthete, created a food demonstration with various words and what they tasted like. So many people were delighted to ask what their names’ tasted like. For instance, my name, to Jennifer, always tastes like cheesy bread.
