The 3rd Synesthesia Show: Differentiation
October 11 - 18, 2025
Co-curated by Yoonjung Lee and DooRee Kang

Presented by Synesthesia Spectrum, Differentiation is the 3rd iteration of the Synesthesia show, and investigates how difference itself becomes a medium of connection where sound and image, perception and language, body and technology intertwine to create new forms of resonance. The exhibition features seven collaborative teams—fourteen visual artists and composers paired across disciplines—along with twelve live performers. Each team explores the boundaries between visual and sonic experience through installation, performance, and interactive media.
