Recording of ICA-Belgium’s International Colour Day Talk
The recording of our March Sunday Morning Colour Talk, celebrating International Colour Day, is live on our YouTube Channel. Sit back and enjoy our talks with Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann, a German archaeologist, specialising in the colour reconstruction of ancient sculptures, and Stephen Westland, a British colour scientist and a professor of Colour Science and Technology in the School of Design at the University of Leeds.
Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann spoke about Pigments on Marble: the Polychromy of Greek and Roman Ancient Sculptures. Her reconstructions of ancient sculptures were seen all around the world and are at present on view in the exhibition Antiquity in Colour, at the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, Belgium.
Stephen Westland spoke about Colour Nowcasting: AI and Sustainability, exploring colour trends in the context of the fashion and textile industry, and the possibility of using AI to predict what colours are trending now - so-called colour nowcasting.
A big thank you to both for a a very insightful, interesting and inspiring colour talk!
Design Semantics Knowledge Graph
The DSKgraph, developed by Inez Michiels and her team, is an intelligent data network in which meaning, emotion, mythology, and symbols are combined with design elements for the ultimate purpose of creating & analyzing design. Watch the sneak preview video below.
