Yesterday, we asked what the 2019 Roland Garros poster represents.
Here is a clue: Synaesthesia, "the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body." If you have the condition, you might see the color blue and your brain converts the input to perception of the scent of a rose in your mind.
In this case, Spanish artist José Maria Sicilia used computer software to convert actual sounds of a tennis match into colorful abstract images. So, a bouncing tennis ball, a racket smacking a ball, and applause are translated from sound into color and shape.
