Abstract
Our current digital technologies are as much a part of the cultural heritage of tomorrow as are the material objects we create and the discourses and narratives that bind theory and practice. In this fast moving technological environment, with increasing specialisation in those fields of practice engaged with colour, how do different disciplines in art, design and the sciences communicate theories and practice across their boundaries?
We propose colour as a meta-discipline, sitting above all and across many subjects, and by this definition as multi-disciplinary. Colour measurement, specification and replication bring challenges, but communication across colour fields also has conceptual barriers. This challenge of communicating different concepts, viewpoints, tools and methods, languages, teminology and cultures cannot be avoided. We will suggest a framework for tackling the translation between natural language systems, matter and colour specification in the digital domain, which re-articulates how the science, practice and theory of colour can be used.
