[visionlist] AIC2013 Congress Announcement and request for suggestions for Special Symposia

[Andrew Stockman]

Congress Announcement and request for suggestions for Special Symposia:

 

The 12th International Congress of the International Colour Association
(AIC) will be held 8-12 July 2013 at The Sage Gateshead (UK).

 

The main theme of the 2013 conference will be "Bringing Colour to Life".
This theme will be developed in several complementary directions. First, in
the practical sense of colour production and reproduction; second in the
sense of colour in nature; and third in the sense of the ways in which
colour can be used sustainably now and in the future. We often hear stories
about the negative impact of colour on the environment (e.g., the cost of
packaging, the high quantity of textiles sent to landfill, and the
environmental effect of effluent). This Congress will therefore have
sessions that explore sustainable uses of colour and the synergies between
technology and nature.

 

 

Special Symposia

 

>From July 2012, the organising committee AIC 2013 will be inviting
submissions for papers that address any aspect of colour.

Meanwhile, the organising committee invites expressions of interest for
special symposia that could take place as part of the Technical Programme.
Expressions of interest should be mailed to either of the Technical
Programme Chairs (Stephen Westland, s.westland at leeds.ac.uk; Sophie Wuerger,
s.m.wuerger at liverpool.ac.uk) and should include the title of the symposium,
the organiser, the names of the speakers and titles of the talks, and a
brief synopsis of the indicative content (approx. 200 words).

Symposia that are accepted will appear in the Call for Papers to be released
on 2nd July 2012. However, inclusion in the Call is no guarantee that the
symposium will take place since it depends upon the number and quality of
papers that are submitted in accordance with each symposium.

 

Symposia currently planned are:

  Colour Harmony: Colour in Art, Architecture, Colour Preferences, Interior
Design, Fashion, Branding;

  Lighting: Emerging Technologies (LEDs, OLEDs), Effect on Colour Rendering
and Fidelity, Energy Conservation;

  Sustainable Coloration: Pigment Conversation, Dye Makers,  Art
Restoration, Colour Conservation in Museums;

  Colour Imaging & Reproduction: Digital Photography, Displays, Printing,
Image Quality, Gamut Mapping;

  Human Factors in Colour: Perception; Colour Vision; Models of Colour
Appearance; Adaptation; Colour Constancy; Chromatic discrimination; Colour

  Multispectral Colour Science: Spectral Image Capture, Processing,
Analysis, Visualisation
