Question

In Chromosaturation, by Carlos Cruz-Diez, different rooms are saturated with different colored lights primarily affecting the viewers experience of ____________________ as they move from room to room.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perceptual color

Explanation:

Since the purpose of creating this artificial environment was to explore the concept of color. Chromosaturation is an installation of three colored rooms, red, green and blue. These colors in a light spectrum are the ones that the cones in our eyes are sensitive to. A viewer that will enter one of these room would find himself in complete monochrome. These chromatic spaces alter the perception of its viewers because it disrupts the way our eyes perceive light. Our eyes and brain process in a way that they perceive a wide range of shades of light but monochromatic situation would troubles them. For instance, a room saturated with one color will basically cancel out the visual noise as a result a viewer in that room would perceive that the intensity of light has lost and appear much lighter in contrast of the other room which would look much saturated than the one he is standing in.
