From mischer’traxler:
"Following an invitation of the Designmuseum Gent, the purpose was to contribute to the museum’s Kleureyck exhibition with experiments on the relationships between colour and the human sensory perception.
mischer’traxler focused the experimentation on analogies of colour and our sense of movement (kinaesthesia), and they proposed to develop the work in four steps: At first, all primary and secondary colours – red, blue, yellow, orange, purple, and green – were to be matched with all kinds of qualities such as aggressive, natural, optimistic, spiritual, cool, surprising etc. A second step asked to transform these words into adjectives that describe certain movements: fast or slow, accelerated or retarded, steady or abrupt, as well as conditions, such as balanced, in between these. In the longest and most challenging third phase, each group of participants had to design and build one scenario, that allows to realize a colour by executing that movement which hence most accurately relates to a specific colour. The participant’s performance of all installations was then the last step and was recorded in film and photography."
