An Oklahoma City-based art collective will expand its work to Norman in April 2022, bringing the colors and canvases at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art to life with its immersive art.Â
Factory Obscura was founded in 2017, bringing immersive experiences that âawake wonder, build community and make the world a better place,â according to its website. Kelsey Karper, Factory Obscuraâs co-founder and director of logistical creativity, said the art collective plans on drawing inspiration on pieces from the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art s permanent collection, turning them into a gallery that âenhances the senses.âÂ
The collectiveâs initial installation will be titled âSynesthesia,â in reference to the neurological condition where the activation of one sense can lead to the unrelated activation of another. This allows affected individuals to hear music or sense sounds as color.Â
