[accessibleimage] Re: Paintings really can be heard, scientist says

Thanks for the article, Sylvie! Of course everyone can
hear a Kandinsky painting using The vOICe. One simply
downloads and imports an image file like the GIF image
at the direct URL

http://www.lk.cs.ucla.edu/LK/Presentations/facultylecture/img/kandinsky.yellow-red-blue.gif

and presses Control O for the image file requester.
What two synesthetes hear when seeing a Kandinsky
painting is probably often more different than what
two users of The vOICe hear, because there is a lot
of variability in natural synesthesia. What we are
ultimately after is a controlled form of synesthesia
that induces the visual perception of the original
image, such that you would really see the Kandinsky
painting from its associated sound, albeit without
color. It is still uncertain if this can be achieved.

Best wishes,

Peter Meijer
