Colour & Schematic Images: Goethe’s Theory
The colour issue:
What was the influence of Goethe’s theory on colour phenomena’s representation?
In a colour-based interactive exhibition, there was the need to provide the historical context, both international and Chilean, of how the contemporary knowledge of colour we have today was developed during time. Additionally, the information had to allow users to navigate and interact with it.
The solution: the Farbenlehre’s and the colour circle
