The Scale

Since synesthesia is a phenomenon that has accompanied me since I was born, I can see colors from different music notes. Here, I randomly picked and ordered eight out of eighty eight musical notes on pianos (the title is the scale shown above), and found out each colors associated with each musical notes according to my synesthesia (the painting shown below). I want to let uncertainty be a part of my work and not let the work all be lead by my consciousness and subjectiveness. All the colors are animated by the tension between different sizes of squares and the random ordering of the colorful squares with which it is formed. By only using the interval between elements, I tried to create a color movement that can associate with the movement of music. I’m questioning the underlying truth and rules. The chance of this scale’s combination, the chance of the synesthesia reaction appearing to me: is there really an absolute randomness in the world?

联觉反应自出生起就一直陪伴我。我可以通过音乐看见颜色，不一样的音带有不一样美丽的颜色。听见不同的和弦，音阶，都会产生许多不同颜色的混合，产生色彩重叠与动态。只是这样的画面永远只存在于脑海中，非常孤独。把它表达出来，让他人看见我意识深处的秘密，成了我的一种执念。我也一直疑惑不解着背后的规律，同时，也为了避免过多的个人意识与主观性的介入，我随机抽选8个音并随机排列，得出一串音阶。并用色彩之间产生的动态阐述音与音之间的动态。这也是我对“随机性”产生的提问，这个音阶的产生也好，联觉反应在我身上出现的几率也好，世界上真的存在绝对的随机吗？
