Play a Kandinsky

‘Play a Kandinsky’ invites you to hear what Kandinsky might have heard when painting “Yellow-Red-Blue'' by bringing to life his theories on his synesthesia and abstract art. There are four chapters to the experience: Explore Kandinsky's theories on color and sound and the relationship between shapes; Hear the composed version of the painting created with help from machine learning; Discover the emotions Kandinsky associated with color and shape and “play” his pioneering masterpiece, Yellow-Red-Blue, with the help of machine learning.. You can create and share your own musical mix of the painting, highlighting your chosen emotions as inspired by Kandinsky. This project is a collaboration between Centre Pompidou and Google Arts & Culture. The sounds you hear are an interpretation by sound artists Antoine Bertin and NSDOS, they do not represent exactly what Kandinsky heard but are inspired by his extensive writing on the sounds he associated with colors & shapes and have been composed with the help of machine learning.
