I have a Lithuanian friend and colleague who produced a wonderful VR piece based on the work of Čiurlionis:

I 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.

Interesting. 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. 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.

You should read Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. He writes about some of his patients experiencing synesthesia. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1297985.Musicophilia

Wow, incredibly beautiful. I think I'll buy a good quality print of these soon.

I was thinking of a song of Zelda by the word of Sonata, just to discover it has nothing to do with that

It would be interesting to decode the visuals into sound.
