Synesthesia is an ability of the brain of melting the senses together. Kandisky, who could hear music in colours or Nabokov, for which letters would conjure up colours were synesthetes. Synesthesia does not apply to the human brain only, as a symbol system the computer can produce synæsthetic experiences. The synæsizer is an artificial (multimodal and bidirectional) synesthete, its senses having been melt together by the use of data-bending. Its video system is directly plugged into the audio and vice-versa. If we compare it to a human being, it can hear with its eyes and see with its ears. But that quality of being a synesthete is only the consequence of its primary function, which is to generate a synesthetic experience on its user.
