The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C. (2014, October). The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art. Paper presented at Fifth International Conference on the Image, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer-generated objects in virtual spaces and to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightforward proce... Read More about The material image: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Deconstructing digital printing technologies: Towards reinstating artistic ingenuity in the production of digital colour prints (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Olen, M., Parraman, C., & Laidler, P. (2014, October). Deconstructing digital printing technologies: Towards reinstating artistic ingenuity in the production of digital colour prints. Paper presented at Fifth International Conference on the Image, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

This research proposes an alternative perspective to conventional printing workflows. Such workflows are restrictive when standard interfaces conceal self-contained systems, limited by manufacturers’ parameters. This has been observed to inhibit the...

Chapter 6 in Art, Science and Cultural Understanding covers a brief exploration of the differences in reproduction. A history of the art and science of colour. Forming pictures in the brain: colour appearance, perception, and neuroscience. Reproducti... Read More about The art and science of colour perception and reproduction.

Durer’s Rhinoceros: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Parraman, C. (2014, April). Durer’s Rhinoceros: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art. Presented at New Perspectives in Colour, 50th Annual Convention of the Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour, (AISB), University of Goldsmiths, London, UK

Since the introduction of computers, there has been a desire to improve the appearance of computer generated objects in virtual spaces and to be able to display the objects within complex scenes exactly as they appear in reality. This is a straightfo... Read More about Durer’s Rhinoceros: Artists’ approaches to reproducing texture in art.

Reproducing the old masters: Applying colour mixing and painting methodologies to inkjet printing (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., Olen, M., & Padfield, J. (2014). Reproducing the old masters: Applying colour mixing and painting methodologies to inkjet printing. Proceedings of SPIE, 9015, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2040647

This research investigates multi-channel inkjet printing methods, which deviate from standard colour management workflows by reflecting on art historical processes, including the construction of colour in old master works, to reproduce specific colou...

Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy (2014)
Journal Article
McCann, J. J., Parraman, C., & Rizzi, A. (2014). Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, 1-17. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.00005

We studied color constancy using a pair of identical 3-D Color Mondrian displays. We viewed one 3-D Mondrian in nearly uniform illumination, and the other in directional, nonuniform illumination. We used the three dimensional structures to modulate t... Read More about Reflectance, illumination, and appearance in color constancy.

Blueprints for colour mixing: Towards 2.5D textural printing (2014)
Book Chapter
Parraman, C. (2014). Blueprints for colour mixing: Towards 2.5D textural printing. In P. L. Harrison, E. Shemilt, & A. Watson (Eds.), Borders and Crossings: The Artist as Explorer (180-185). Dundee: Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee

As a result of the current advances in inkjet colour management and halftoning the significant impact of inkjet printing has meant that the artist can now take for granted high-quality colour and resolution in their printed images. Now that the digit... Read More about Blueprints for colour mixing: Towards 2.5D textural printing.

An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C., & Tisato, F. (2014). An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041209

The objective is to create a micro-environment-an illuminated dome with a constant geometry of illumination-to undertake non invasive observation of the surface topography of artworks. The dome is attached to a stereo-microscope, which is able to gai... Read More about An investigation into the micro surface of artworks using alternative lighting techniques.

The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters (2014)
Journal Article
Parraman, C. (2014). The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters. Proceedings of SPIE, 9018, https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2041216

Primary components in the colour reproduction of textured materials are firstly, the accurate rendering of the appearance of texture, and secondly the ability to print a surface topology that moves towards 2.5D printing. However, in order to render s... Read More about The visual appearance and surface texture of materials according to the old masters.
