Teenage Engineering’s OP-Z synth music is translated into AI-generated images in this art piece

The project, a collaboration between the eccentric synth and hardware business Teenage Engineering and design companies Modem and Bureau Cool, is inspired by the neurological disease synesthesia. This unusual occurrence causes the brain to receive sensory information for several senses rather than just one. A listener with synesthesia, for example, may see music rather than just hear it, noticing colour, movement, and form in reaction to musical patterns. On the other hand, a synesthetic individual may taste forms, feel words from a text, or hear an abstract picture.
