The technology company Google presents Making Sense of Color. An immersive journey from the ethereal to the material that shines a light on how color is elemental to sensing the world around us and a powerful aspect of Google’s latest hardware design. Co-created by Google’s Vice President of Hardware Design, Ivy Ross and her design team in collaboration with the arts + research lab, Chromasonic.This year for Salone del Mobile Milano, through Making Sense of Color, Google strives to show how color, which is elemental to sensing the world, is a powerful aspect of Google’s latest hardware design. Upon being welcomed into the exhibit, guests enter Chromasonic’s vibrant light and sound installation composed of repeating translucent scrims that create a series of open rooms and interstitial spaces. In this multi-layered experiential environment, each of the 21 spaces, or nodes, is activated by a single source of light and spatialized sound. As guests freely wander through and around the nodes, moment by moment, using Chromasonic Refrequencing which translates sound frequencies to light and light frequencies to sound, light is made audible and sound visible. This unique phenomenon gives rise to a depth of immersion that makes each person acutely aware of the connection between their body’s subtle movements and the movement of other people within the installation. A harmonizing of the mind and body connection through light and sound. From there, the exhibit experience shifts from the ethereal to the material as guests move onto a series of spaces, each dedicated to a particular color inspired and informed by a specific sensation. Step by step, sense by sense, a journey culminating in a feast for the eyes that shows how color comes to life through the design of Google’s hardware portfolio that will be on display. Making Sense of Color continues the conversation on thoughtful design by showing how color transforms our experience with the world around us.
