Josef Albers color theory emphasized the dynamic and shifting nature of color. For example, deepening into three-dimensional space, and colors blurring and vibrating when next to each other. I found a design that encompasses this shift of color as well as color revealing or hiding itself to the naked eye. It is called heat-activated paint. The concept behind it is that colors emerge when it is exposed to heat; therefore it creates a unique image around your home depending on the temperature of a room or the whole house. It is ingenious because it is many designs placed into one; its versatility of patterns is infinite. Color brings mundane things to life, and improves on a multitude of items from Tupperware to Casino floors. Color can create a new beginning or a final solution. Who would think that dining room walls could vary day to day, hour to hour in color and pattern? I, for one did not think it was possible, but I am glad that someone showed me that it is.
The innovative technology can also be applied to posters, which can be interacted with, by touch and so forth. This design can change interiors worldwide forever, think about it: interactive walls, posters, tabletops, and etcetera. I also like the idea that as the day cools down; the color will fade away to its original state. It’s like a visual watch made from color and not numbers. This is just the beginning, and I am eager to see what alterations and upgrades are made to this idea in the future.
