Aura Satz, Doorway for Natalie Kalmus (still), 2013
Centred around the use of colour in moving image technology, Aura Satz's exhibition explores the disorienting technicolour prismatic effects of the lamp house of a 35mm colour film printer. In her film Doorway for Natalie Kalmus, minute shifts across an abstract colour spectrum, punctuated by a mechanical soundtrack, evoke kaleidoscopic perceptual after-images bringing to mind Paul Sharits, Dario Argento and the Wizard of Oz. Natalie Kalmus was the ex-wife of technicolour inventor Herbert Kalmus, and was the colour consultant for hundreds of colour films, including The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus and many others. She would draw up colour scores like a music score, according to her theory of "Colour Consciousness." For the soundtrack Satz collaborated with composer Steven Severin, founder-member of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Alongside the film, Colour Opponent Process also features 35mm film-strip 'colour code' works.

Colour & Light in Space/Form Time
Doreen Balabanoff: Colour and Light
in Space/Form/Time
Lecture: Varley Gallery, Markham,
Ontario, Canada as part of Colour, In Theory Exhibition January 25 – May 4, 2014
Doreen Balabanoff will show her own environmental design work and research and bring her perspectives, as an artist, educator and researcher, to the ongoing discussion of the works in our current exhibition Colour, In Theory.
Considering colour and light as inseparable, ever-changing aspects of our visual environment, she will look at both material and immaterial colour, with a focus on light. While works in the exhibition are made of physical paint, they depict moments of perception that are intimately involved with colour as light - with the relationship between light and material surfaces and substances.
When: Wednesday, April 30 2014 | 7 p.m.
Where: Varley Art Gallery, 216 Main Street Unionville, Markham L3R 2H1
Cost: $10 or free for members
To register contact varley@markham.ca or 905-477-7000 ext. 3261

Montreal Event March 21 Synaesthesia
From Member Ted Turvey:
See
http://www.fifeq.ca/Programmation_21_mars_2014_en.html
for March 21 Montreal Event:
IMMERSION AND SYNAESTHESIA AS WAYS OF KNOWING: A SENSORY ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE OPENMIND TRANSFORMATIONAL FESTIVAL.
| Friday March 21th 2014 9 pm Location // La Cenne, 7755 boul. St-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2R 1X1 OLIVIER BERTHELOT-SYNESTHÉSIA CRÉATION ERIC GAGNON-SOCIOLOGIE UQAM At the crossroads of art and science, Eric and Olivier will offer participants an immersive experience. Basing themselves on sensory ethnography, they will welcome you in an interactive art installation that will transport you into the OpenMind transformational festival. This culture proposes meetings that mix festivities with spirituality with the aim of opening up possibilities in spiritual and community developments. Using different sensory strategies, Eric and Olivier will stimulate your senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight in order to give you an insight into the transformational culture. This activity will push you to question the connections between the body and knowledge, as well as the perks of mobilizing the senses to share and communicate researches in social sciences.

Call for Papers new Journal CRSC ColourCouleur
CALL FOR PAPERS
Colour : Couleur
The Journal of the Colour Research Society of Canada
Colour : Couleur is the new Journal of the Colour Research Society
of Canada. The mission of the Journal is to create an open-source,
common space for discussion and dissemination of scholarly research and
professional practice focused on Colour in Industry, Art and Design, Scientific
disciplines, and Academia. The
Journal will take advantage of the capabilities of current Web technologies,
permitting contributors to embed visual and auditory elements into their
submissions as necessary, even allowing multi-media submissions such as film
and video, visual artworks or audio submissions.
Inaugural issue:
CROSSING
SENSORY BOUNDARIES: Synesthesia
Hearing
the colour of a flute; tasting the sharpness of a banana; feeling the months of
the year wrapped around your body. To some of us, the crossing of sensory
boundaries occurs only in realms of imagination, guided by poets, artists and
musicians. To those of us with Synaesthesia, however, one mode of stimulus
actually triggers perceptions in another.
Appearing in a growing body
of research from diverse fields, synaesthesia
is a complex of neurological processes that results in a blurring of perceptual
boundaries. With the advent of neuroscientific imaging, this uncommon, even
quasi-mystical ability has become a focus of study that intriguingly bridges
disciplinary studies in Developmental Psychology, the Neurosciences, Art,
Design, and Music, and Poetics.
For the inaugural edition
of “Colour : Couleur,” the CRSC would like to complete a series of special
events on synesthesia, called ‘Crossing Sensory Boundaries’ that we initiated
in 2013, by calling for papers, research
studies, and examples of creative practice that can illuminate or describe some
aspect of this phenomenon of human cognition and creativity. Seeking to provide
a generous overview of technical and non-technical examinations of the synesthetic
experience, the journal will provide a context for diverse contributions to the
growing knowledge base centred upon understanding this extraordinary human capacity.
We are aiming for researchers, practitioners and synaesthetes themselves to
contribute to the project, to reflect the range of interests, and to share and
discuss knowledge across disciplines.
Topics of
interest include but are not limited to:
Foundational concepts
Education-related studies: learning/language development, cognitive
studies
Research methodologies
Analytical methods
Creativity studies
Creative methods: practice-based
Experiential projects
Paper Submissions
While
media-based submissions are encouraged, we are also soliciting three types of
papers: long papers (up to 10 pages); position papers for new ideas (up to 6
pages); presentations/examples of creative practice (images, sound, writing,
etc.)
Documents
should clearly describe original research, describe novel and promising ideas
that might not have been fully validated, or present creative practices with/for
interpretation and discussion. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least
three Advisory Committee members. Papers must be formatted according to Harvard
standards, and if previously published, this should be stated and referenced
clearly.
Papers may be submitted at huutaArt.com:

Science and art often have a perceived divide in contemporary culture, yet historically both their roots stem from similar manifestations of creativity and aesthetics, in exploring, responding to, and explaining Nature. This Royal Canadian Institute panel presentation brings together scientists, artists, and those with a foot in each of the ‘two cultures’ to discuss their interdisciplinary practices, and encourage novel ways to understand the world around us.
