Cette oeuvre a l'aspect d'un tableau abstrait animé. L'internaute peut manipuler une grille dont les couleurs sont absentes et ainsi créer un effet de distortion sur l'ensemble des couleurs en arrière-plan. Ces couleurs peuvent être modifiées à l'aide d'une palette très diversifiée. L'internaute peut aussi effectuer des rotations avec la grille manipulable.

Discours (notes)

Although mankind has used colors in an intensive way only since the last 100 years, the colors are very important in our lives because they define actions and behaviors, and instigate physical reactions -- colors attract, warm, excite, calm and convey several other kinds of feelings. The way we use and experience the colors around us contributes substantially with the way we feel and react in the world. Due a peculiar physics phenomenon that happens to the light (and to all wavy phenomena), called interference, it is possible to see colors appearing in environments where they theoretically wouldn't exist, such as the colors in soap bubbles, oil films and other kinds of thin membranes: the mix of colors that appear are orivinated by that phenomenon. Interference is the result of two or more overlapping light waves, and the resultant intensity is, in general, different from the original waves. Based on the exploration of the interference phenomenon, and inspired by the artist Cruz-Diez's works (which explores colors getting interfecence results in frames and architecture works), the current work - inter.ferences - intend to provide an experimental interface to the interference phenomenon in a way that changing color patterns, thicknesses and moviments of a grid over a striped background, new colors are created on the screen. The experimentation allows infinite color patterns generation, and the observation of patterns that result from dramatic results regarding new colors formations to patterns that aren't able to cause the interference phenomenon at all, therefore not generating new colors on the screen. The interface has been designed to facilitate and incite the experimentation, thus, besides the free-interaction mode, where you can choose and aply freely all parameters, there are also the semi-automatic modes of interaction that aim to provoke the user to try options from the moviments of rotation and displacement of the overlapping grid. Through the experimentation of the modes of interaction, the current work intend to cause feelings and reflections provided by the interations themselves and by the new colors obtained while interacting.
