Colorbox: ArT=Mixx "Abstract"

Colorbox: ArT=Mixx "Abstract" from Gabe Colors on Vimeo.

While interested in color perception and body movement, Azuray Swimwear and the gorgeous models who collaborated on the Colorbox performance at ArT=Mixx "Abstract", redirected my editing attention. Nevertheless, I hope you are able to appreciate the journey through complementary colors that is the foundation for this piece.

A grey circle appears as if a sphere when surrounded by the gradient background. We travel across the color wheel to the complement shifted by 15 degrees endlessly bouncing roughly to the corresponding color our eyes would find when fatigued. At the end, the blue circle disappears and, if you are intent enough, leaves you with an after image of yellow. Immediately prior to the circle disappearing, the gradient background animation is seeking the value (brightness) of the blue circle to attempt the illusion that the blue circle is shaded.

This was the third ArT=Mixx at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center and it was the first of three explosive ArT=Mixxes that we (artCOREmaui.com) co-produced.
