Take the virtual tour of SYNESTHESIA

 

At the fred jones jr. museum of art - Norman, OK

SYNESTHESIA was an immersive art experience by Factory Obscura, inspired by the color and textural elements of the permanent collection of the Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art. In particular, the Factory Obscura team was inspired by the prolific and exuberant work of Olinka Hrdy, who began her career as an art student at the University of Oklahoma from 1923-1928.

SYNESTHESIA asks participants to open their senses and explore what exists between the layers of a Hrdy painting, and what memories live in the spaces in between. What does lavender sound like? What does fuchsia smell like? Answers and exploration could be found at the Fred Jones Jr Museum of Art, on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK.

SYNESTHESIA is organized by Factory Obscura in collaboration with the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Norman Arts Council.
