TCRE - week 3.1 class notes

Updated: Mar 21

Notes and writing from class 3.1 TCRE studio class

Turbulent flow, captured motion and colour of turbulent flow in Starry night painting.

  • Luminence: intensity of light in the colours. Our cortex sees brightness, contrast and motion, but not colour. So if 2 colours have the same luminence, our brain blends them together. Another part of our brain will see the difference in hue and separate the colours.

  • With this in mind, Many impressionist paintings seem to pulse and flicker, because of this contradiction physiologically happening in our brain

  • (in HSB, RGB and HSL, luminence is brightness). In RGB if you change hue, you change brightness, cause its not perceptually uniform from a human visual perception (luminance changes). Whereas CIELAB is uniform, so brightness is uniform to all colours, unless we change it on purpose.

  • psychotic period paintings show physics turbulence phenomena. Movement, fluid and light.

  • Work for this semester is exploring media outputs, and how light and colour work to produce that content. How we can manage and program pixels to show what we want to show.


VIDEO 2 ON COLOUR

  • use colour to: measure, label/identify, represent, decorate (beauty)

  • saturation: intensity of colour, amount of white present in colour

  • luminance: shades of greyscale

  • hue: the actual type of colour

  • luminance and saturation, good for categorising data

  • data visualisation techniques of colour or emotions: how can we apply sequential (from low to high); diverging (one critical midpoint value, extends both ways in 2 sequential categories, lowest on one side, highest on the other); categorical (contrast between each adjacent feeling/colour)

  • even in people who have full colour vision abilities, some properties of background and environment might still affect our perception of colours.

  • cultural inference, personal associates and moods influence what we feel when looking at different colours.



THINGS TO EXPLORE:

  • alternative colour combinations (can we combine colours outside of standard colour schemes like complimentary, analagous etc...)

  • working with HSL and HSV a bit more

  • how do we categories saturation, luminance and hue for design purposes?? Something to investigate

  • colour and emotions data visualisation techniques. How do we use them?

  • blue light waves are higher in frequency and energy, red has a longer wavelength, lower energy and frequency. But why does blue makes us feel sad. relaxed, low-energy, and red reminds us of high-intensity emotions, anger, chaos????

  • problematic, provoking and alternative ways of exploring colour, light and sound are HIGHLY encouraged

  • how are colours influenced by the background/surroundings?

  • you can include a series of studies in separate areas/topics, start simple and build complexity of movement, colour, contrast etc.....

  • types of biases???

  • learned processes and involuntary responses
