Light & Colour Consulting
Lectures and seminars about “Light & Color”
In 2004, my specialist book "Color and Communication" was published, which arose from my experience as a visual communication expert. Since then I have given several lectures and seminars on the subject and am a certified color consultant (IACC - Salzburg). I offer this expertise as an additional service and have already finished a new book ("Light and Color - Frequencies, beyond the visible") which will be published soon and has been realized as a document for my seminars and also as a reference book.
Color and communication
The aim of the book is to consider color from the point of view of its communicative possibilities. It is dedicated to the observation and presentation of color perception from a strictly objective point of view; aesthetic aspects are not taken into account. In view of an unmistakably increasing “virtualization” of sensory perception in our contemporary culture, the “objective” study of color does not seem possible without a revision of traditional color theory. A reconsideration that, in the broadest sense, aims to a consciously instrumentalized use of colour which also touches on the field of mass psychology.
