AI-generated art is an exciting frontier. For every difficult question, there is an answer. Generated art has the potential to be widely modified and can therefore inspire wonder and awe. Take for example: This creates stunning visual environments for composition music.
A collaboration between quirky synths Teenage Engineering brand and design studios Modem, Bureau Cool This is a drawing of inspiration from synesthesia, a neurological condition. The brain perceives sensory input for multiple senses rather than one, which is a rare phenomenon. Synesthesia can cause a person to see and hear music, but also perceive color, movement, and shape. Synesthetic people may also taste shapes and hear abstract paintings.
This audiovisual experiment uses Teenage Engineering Modem and Bureau Cool use the music source to create AI art. In real-time, Modem and Bureau Cool’s “digital extension” translates musical properties into text prompts describing colors, shapes and movements. These prompts are then fed into Stable Diffusion, an open-source tool similar. Midjourney), to produce dreamy, synesthetic animated films.
Modem co-founder Bas van de Poel sees the experiment as fuel for artists’ imaginations. “With the project, we see the potential for musicians to explore new forms of creativity, facilitating a joint performance between human and machine,” van de Poel told Engadget today.
If you’re a musician who owns Teenage Engineering’s OP-Z, you can’t yet use the extension yourself — but that may eventually change. Van de Poel tells Engadget that the companies are “exploring the potential of launching a public version.”
This AI-based project isn’t the first to bring synesthetic properties to the masses. Last year, Google Arts & Culture created an exhibition that , bringing machine-learning-produced sound to Vassily Kandinsky’s paintings.
