COLOUR
AIC Midterm Meeting 2022 Toronto
The Colour Research Society of Canada is delighted to be hosting the 2022 Midterm Meeting of the International Colour Association (AIC) in Toronto June 13–16, 2022.
The theme, Sensing Colour, offers a great breadth of opportunity for participants from diverse disciplines and modes of inquiry to contribute to colour awareness and knowledge in an interdisciplinary forum. It highlights how colour offers itself to us, in what ways it approaches and engages us, affecting our awareness, and harnessing our attention. In so many diverse ways, and through so many different lenses … colour is being studied as an influential shaper of human experience.
Through all our senses and faculties – through intellectual, cultural and material ways of knowing and feeling – we seek to observe and utilize the remarkable and mysterious energy of colour, whether material or immaterial, whether conceptual or practical, sociological or biological, natural or technological.
