This is a project about colour perception and it’s connection to the senses. As soon as the psychological perception of colour is subjective we wanted to make an exploration on how we experience colours, what involves our aesthetic and psychological responses to colour, why some colours are strong symbols to certain situations and objects, why some people have high colour perception and others can not even see the difference between red and orange and also why we so much associate colours with our mood. As soon as human’s feelings are so coloured based, we started experimenting with how can our senses be implemented to our most used daily colour medium - clothes. This research led us to the topic of probing the frontiers of the science, fashion and art. The work will be on the edge of analog and digital worlds, as itself the colour will be studied from the digital point because this is the only way to talk about innocent, pure colour. 3D technologies will help to understand the quality of colour, its interrelation to form and influence to human and express this in graphical equivalent based on the studies of Wassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers and Johannes Itten. By conducting patterns at each step, all aspects of the designs will be modified, from algorithmic pattern to color scheme to colour behaviour. Like a constant metamorphosis, the same sequence gets transformed over and over again. Physical elements that will be translated from this research will be based on the study of thermochromic pigments that react to the heat of human body. Two concepts will be going in parallel - the concept of garment and the concept of what colour it can be. A person can wear monochromatic garment and according to his behaviour the colour will change.
