About the conference theme
The theme Colour Sense and Sensibility acknowledges the pervasive impact of colour in our natural and constructed environments. Participants are invited to consider how their own work involving colour may be of interest and of importance in shaping and influencing our visual experience. We encourage participation from designers, artists and other colour practitioners whose work references scientific or philosophical understanding of colour, from colour educators whose teaching programs span the art-science divide, and from scientific, historical and other researchers who believe that their insights about colour have relevance beyond their specialised areas of interest.
