Neil Harbisson: Transposing national anthems into makeup
Neil Harbisson sees in grey scale, but has an antenna mounted in the back of his head that lets him hear the sound of colours. Each colour has a tone and each tone has a colour, and so we thought: Why don't make faces sound like music? Together with makeup-artist Livinger Echo, we invited Neil to come and do a performance in our gallery in Oslo and this is how it turned out!
Update: We are working with more national anthems as it turnes out more people wants to see their own national anthems transposed into makeup. Stay tuned :)
