SENSE AND SENSIBILITY A new group show of sound works explores the phenomenon of synesthesia, in which experiences in one sense prompt other senses to react – for example, when a smell produces visualizations of a color. “What Sound Does a Color Make?” asks how synesthesia is connected to contemporary audiovisual art, which forces viewers to use more than one sense in interpretation.The show opens tonight with a performance and discussion by several of the represented artists, including Stephen Vitiello, Thom Kubli, and Kurt Hentschlanger. Reception: Tonight, 6-9 p.m., free. Exhibit: Tomorrow through Saturday, July 16, Tuesday-Saturday, noon-6 p.m., Eyebeam, 540 W. 21st St., between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, 212-937-6581, free.
