Anna Kabirova's exhibition "...ONE ARTSAPIENS ID" at MMOMA continues the program "Search. Research", revealing the ways of interaction between science and art to rethink and represent. To understand the history of humankind's accumulation of knowledge about the world, and what science can give to art and vice versa through the phenomenon of synesthesia, a condition that makes one kind of sensory stimuli overlap with a different sensory experience.


A unique program designed specifically for the project converted seven primary colors into sound waves. These audio signals were then transformed into digital sculptures produced with 3D printing. Anna Kabirova also created a system that can turn any color into a fragrance. Such manipulations supplemented visual information about colors with auditory, tactile, and olfactory inputs.


To recreate the experience of synesthesia, the produced sensory models of colors red, yellow, and blue were presented to Anna while her brain activity was recorded with an electroencephalogram (EEG). By transforming abstract concepts such as color into sensations, Anna creates intuitive forms of communication that can foster a deep and direct perception of reality.
