Transparent. Translucent. Opaque. Reflective. What is the color of Water?
In this installation, water is a reflecting pool for both the human and computational understanding of color. Like water, these perceptions are always transforming.
The web and physical installation The Color of Water: Algorithmic Sea explores the sociotechnical perception of color, especially how it is actualized through computer systems and their algorithms. The sea of colors shown in the installation is composed of a multitude of user generated colors. These colors undulate between the user and computer algorithmic processes.
