About the Seminar
This 2-day, in-person seminar includes lectures and hands-on workshops merging the art and science of color.
Morning seminars kick off with a keynote to mystify, educate, and entertain with visual system trickery and discussion of what and how we see. Seminars continue with color theory, spectral manipulation of colored lighting (metamers), color rendering capabilities of white light sources for architectural applications, and more.
Afternoon hands-on workshops allow you to explore the lessons discussed and demonstrated in morning seminars, explore equipment capabilities, and build on previous experience.
The program offers:
- In-depth color theory lecture and demonstration
- Exploration of spectral tunability and its impact on object appearance for both white and colored light
- Key considerations for fixture evaluation
- Color control
- Hands-on exploration of advanced color control using additive color mixing LEDs
- Lunch and networking
While most of the content is targeted for lighting designers, we welcome related designers such as costume, scenic or interior interested in understanding lighting’s impact on their work.
NB! Lunch, coffee/tea, and afternoon refreshments will be served both days - all included in the price.
