Create together
Cyberdelic Hackathon
Developers, designers, scientists, and musicians come together to create open-source tools for expanded perception. Experiment with sound, mixed reality, and the possibilities of synesthesia.
From the last build
Sound becomes colour. A prototype becomes a shared possibility.
