About Novoa/Jones: Synesthesia:
An audiovisual collaboration exploring the theme of overcoming aspects of the contemporary moment: seeing the world with one’s own eyes over self-surveillance, commitment over compromise, and choosing to live with senses blasting over existing in a coma of the soul. Sound and image blooms in layers of texture, poetry, and synesthesia.
