I'm using AI to 'read' my paintings and help me compose music. Here's how I do it.

• Shane Guffogg is a multi-media abstract artist with synesthesia, meaning he "hears color." 
• Guffogg worked with AI experts and musicians to compose music that corresponds to his paintings. 
• He believes AI is still a tool that "needs oversight" but it's enhanced his creative process. 

This is an as-told-to conversation with Shane Guffogg, an American artist who launched "At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time," an exhibition of 21 paintings at the Venice Biennale earlier this month. This conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
