CHANGING PERCEPTION ONLINE

This installation is based on research into the influence of online colours.

​

We are increasingly viewing artworks via the internet. This has a big influence on the colours that we imagine when we think of a painting. 

But how do those online copies relate to the real works of art?

Studio RENS translated the research results into a wallpaper installation, it shows the images that Google feeds you when you search for Portrait of a man in a red turban by Jan van Eyck.
