Color Corrections

Color is everywhere. Seemingly self-evident and uncomplicated color is one of the most accessible elements of any visual language. And because of its ubiquitous nature, color reveals the visual aesthetics of the Zeitgeist. Today color is emissive, viral, expressive, engaged, and ecological. In this digital age where there is no such thing as one clear image or one correct viewpoint, color is nimble enough to broaden meaning. Color Correction is a lecture on the possibilities of color through the saturated world of Atelier Manferdini.
