Dive into a world where sound meets color at the Atelier des Lumières. Here stands Convergence a digital art installation by Pierre-Blaise Dionet.
Convergence offers a unique immersive experience. It poetically explores the birth of synesthesia. Synesthesia is a neurological condition where senses intertwine. For some, sounds evoke colors. For others, shapes have distinct tastes. Convergence brings this phenomenon to life.
From February 17, 2023, to January 7, 2024, Convergence was part of the Painting Music exhibition cycle. It was showcased alongside works by Marc Chagall and Paul Klee. These masters also explored the relationship between art forms.
Pierre-Blaise Dionet from CityShake conceived and realized Convergence. He collaborated with Charlie Nguyen Kim. Kim composed the music and created the sound effects. Emmanuel Quentin contributed to the design.
Imagine being immersed in sub-quantum chaos. This is the origin of vibratory phenomena. Watch as matter evolves. It gradually organizes itself into perfect synchronicity. Sound and color become one.
Dionet and Kim have collaborated for many years. They have created an aesthetic complicity. Visual narration and music become inseparable. This is the ambition of Convergence. It aims to create contemplative emotions. It also questions our imaginative capacity. Can we transcend our perceptions of the world?
Critics have praised Convergence. Maïlys Celeux-Lanval from Beaux Arts Magazine recommends introducing children to synesthesia through this exhibition. She highlights the adequacy between the venue, its mission, and the artists’ know-how. The exhibition is captivating.

Experience the union of sound and color in Convergence. It’s a journey into the fascinating world of synesthesia. It offers a new way to perceive art and the world around you.
