About
What is Chromesthesia Analytics?
Chromesthesia is the neurological phenomenon of seeing colors when hearing sounds. We borrowed this name because we believe all human experience has color — and we've built the methodology to prove it.
Art, quantified. Data, humanized.
Chromesthesia Analytics is an Art-Data Laboratory that creates bridges between subjective human experience and objective data science. We believe that perception — the most intimate kind of knowledge — deserves to be studied and celebrated.
Through the ADDA Project (Art → Data → Data Art), we run large-scale color perception surveys across cultural experiences and transform the resulting datasets into data-driven artworks available to the public.
The ADDA Process
A four-stage loop that turns collective human perception into data art.
We select an art form
Each ADDA project begins with a curated cultural experience: a live symphony, a photography exhibition, a literary work, or an architectural space.
We collect color perceptions
Participants use our app or web surveys to assign colors to specific moments, emotions, or elements of the experience. No expertise required — only perception.
We aggregate and analyze
The chromesthetic data is aggregated across demographics, geography, and time. Patterns emerge from collective human perception that no single mind could see.
We visualize as art
The data transforms into visual art — generative, always unique, always truthful to the aggregate human experience that created it.
The Science Behind the Name
Chromesthesia (from Greek: chroma — color, aisthesis — sensation) is a form of synesthesia where sounds trigger involuntary color experiences. While only ~4% of people are synesthetes, research shows that color-sound associations are far more universal than we thought. Our surveys capture this cultural and psychological phenomenon at scale.
