Google tries to replicate synesthesia with its latest experiment

Google Arts & Culture has teamed up with the Centre Pompidou, a cultural complex in Paris, to pay tribute to Vassily Kandinsky with a virtual exhibition of the artist's works and other documents. You can view some of Kandinsky's pieces in an augmented reality gallery. At the heart of the exhibit is a machine learning experiment that tries to replicate synesthesia, a condition the abstract art pioneer had. In a nutshell, synesthesia turns information that stimulates one of your senses into a multi-sensory experience. For some people (including Kandinsky, Billie Eilish and Pharrell Williams), the condition deepens the association between colors and sounds or moods.
