Open your eyes to the sight of sound in an exploration of the auditory impact of the visual arts. ‘Eye Score: The Audible Image’ looks at artworks that trigger a feeling of sound in the viewer. Whether evoking the memory of music, hinting at compositional rhythms or stimulating impressions of noise, these artworks activate multisensory responses.
There is no sound in these works, only the visual indication of it. Not unlike synaesthesia, the condition by which a person can smell sounds, feel tastes, or hear colours, this exhibition presents artworks that look like they sound, and sound like they look.
