Why artists are sick of AI art.
The Google project called Play a Kandinsky lets you hear what Kandinsky might have heard as he looked at paint. The interactive tool allows you to experience his 1925 abstract masterpiece Yellow Red Blue through sound by clicking around the artwork to listen to a seven-movement composition that travels through colors and moods as Kandinsky described them.
"Google has taught an artificial neural network how colors and shapes correspond to sounds and emotions," Sergey Burukin, head of decision intelligence at web development company Greenice, said in an email interview.
"They have trained the system on Kandinsky's music collection and had it generate sounds that the artist might have experienced from his paintings."
