synesthesia

I've been meaning to post this video forever, it's a really cool take on what it's like to have synesthesia, which is basically a blending of different senses. Some people can see sounds, taste colors, hear tastes. I have the most common form of synesthesia, where I see letters and numbers in distinct colors.

Apparently about 80% of synesthetes are artists, no surprises there.

sunsets and soirees


Some glamorous shots from our end-of-month festa on the roof of the Guggenheim, along with a particularly amazing sunset in Venice.
