- namanyayg 7y agoWow, incredibly beautiful. I think I'll buy a good quality print of these soon.
- andybak 7y agoI have a Lithuanian friend and colleague who produced a wonderful VR piece based on the work of Čiurlionis: https://www.crossmotion.org/trail-of-angels/ https://www.crossmotion.org/trail-of-angels/
- rimliu 7y agoI am Lithuanian, so most likely biased, but I think Čiurlionis deserves to be better known and some of his works are on par or better than many famous paintings. So it is nice to see if featured on HN.
- redslangua 7y agoI was thinking of a song of Zelda by the word of Sonata, just to discover it has nothing to do with that
- NotSammyHagar 7y agoInteresting. In the wikipedia page it has a word I didn't know, synæstesis, and it has the interesting and rarely seen by me combined ae symbol. The internet told me this word is basically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia. Having a sensation in one form gives rise to a sensation in another sense (seeing a number makes me think of a color associated with it). Exposure to art and ideas like this makes life so rich, love hacker news.
- geolgau 7y agoYou should read Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. He writes about some of his patients experiencing synesthesia. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1297985.Musicophilia http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1297985.Musicophilia
- TooSmugToFail 7y agoIt would be interesting to decode the visuals into sound.
