The Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) is sponsoring the Second
Panchromatic Conference. Its focus will be on color in its surround. The
conference will be held in Savannah, Georgia, from Saturday through Monday,
February 19-21, 2000.
In the tradition of ISCC Williamsburg and Panchromatic conferences, this
meeting will foster intensive interactions within a small group of
specialists from varied disciplines. This format will allow us to learn
from, and build on, each others' work. We will compare neural models and
appearance models, examine research methods, learn about new approaches and
applications, and study the richness of using color surrounds in art and
architecture. Demonstrations will help ground theoretical work in
real-world surround effects.
Invited keynote talks to be presented at the conference are:
Michel-EugËne Chevreul: From Laws and Principles to the Production of Color
Plates
FranÁoise ViÈnot, MusÈum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France
Where is the Color in Color Vision?
