The Reverse Color Organ
Creative Tech Week April 29-May 22 at ODETTA
and
FLUXFair_2016 in Marcus Garvey Park May 3-31, 2016
Ellen Hackl Fagan is the inventor of The Reverse Color Organ (RCO) and the ColorSoundGrammar Game, two projects that enable viewers to interact aurally with color. In collaboration with cognitive scientist Michael Cole and programmer Joshie Fishbein, the Reverse Color Organ is being developed into web based app which will place this synaesthetic tool into peoples’ hands to be used, not only to expand the language of color, but also as a crowd-sourced musical instrument.
There will be an onsite installation in Ellen Fagan’s studio in the back of ODETTA, and along a length of fencing leading up to the Acropolis in Marcus Garvey Park for FLUX Fair.
Creative Tech Week
Creative Tech Week is the brainchild of Isabel Draves, the director of Leaders in Software & Art (LISA). Isabel envisions a future where New York City will be the center of the creative technology world, thereby offering artists more opportunities for collaboration and innovation as their artworks continue to utilize technology as a key component in the expression of their concepts.
FLUXFair_2016
FLUX Art Fair is Director Leanne Stella’s newest creation. Having evolved from storefront gallery spaces to her second art fair, Leanne is innovating the way art fairs can take form. Fully supporting emerging talent, the outdoor public sculpture concept has helped connect selected artists to producers, developers, and galleries.
