What if there was a color called "bird"?


What if there was a color called "bird"?

 What might it look like?

 What might happen if you were to create something
 with "bird" as a primary focus yet without any
 object that resembles a bird?

Does Color Exist Outside of History?


Does color exist outside of history?

If so, is color study mostly about what we might
have seen when we weren't here?

Doesn't color have a history of it's own?

Isn't color also nested inside many histories?

And, if color is as it has been seen by billions and billions
of creatures throughout time can any sort of scientific color model
truly be accurate without the mantis shrimp and
hummingbirds weighing in?


Is Color Indexical?


If color occurs in the brain as a neural response are we
to imagine the brain as some sort of file card index?

What if the brain is something else entirely?

Something more embodied than a filing cabinet
for your paints?

Something less like a mental construct and more
like an integral organic response?
