Josef Albers teaching at Yale by John Cohen, c. 1955 from Josef and Anni Albers Foundation on Vimeo.
Infinite Albers from Themike Stout on Vimeo.
An homage to an homage. Taking Josef Albers' colours and geometry as a starting point, incremental changes occur over time to present the maximum number of colour combinations possible, never repeating until the starting point is reached after 2 hours. The soundtrack observes the same principles.
This is a 30 minute excerpt of reduced quality to fit my Vimeo limits.

Untitled (after Joseph Albers) from Eve Essex on Vimeo.
In his best known and theoretical masterpiece, Interaction of Color, Josef Albers, one of the most influential teacher-artists of XX century, explored the world of color perception and provided a guide and teaching aid for artists, instructors, and students through its illuminating visual exercises and mind-bending optical illusions.
Here it is my personal hommage to the Master of Color

The Bezold Effect
RGB from Julia Gordon on Vimeo.
To create an effective Bezold Effect I started with my production company’s logo, two triangles, one is Blue and the other Yellow-Green. Next I incorporate a Green back ground. This creates a subtractive interaction between the almost Neon Green and the Yellow Green. Yellow-Green minus Green leaves us with what would appear to be Yellow! When a darker shade of Blue replaces Green for the background the Green pops back to Yellow-Green as the foreground Blue appears lighter in saturation and almost looses its chroma, leaving a visual shade of Blue that almost appears much more like Grey. The darker more saturated Blue subtracts the blue from the lighter less saturated Blue. In the middle of the video I swapped color palates to bring in Violet and Yellow. Next I brought in the original Blue and Yellow-Green that was the foreground in the first segment and used them as the background colors. The Blue in contrast makes the Violet appear much darker and since Blue is close to Violet (Yellow’s Compliment on the color wheel) the Yellow appears heavily saturated and really pops. Once the background is swapped with Yellow-Green the Yellow appears to have a much lower saturation. The Violet does not visually change much when the backgrounds swap from Blue to Yellow-Green but the peace, as a hole, looks significantly different.
Finally I switch back to the first color scheme and end with the screen full of Blue and Yellow-Green triangles. I fade the backgrounds back and forth a few times from Blue to Green. The amount of visual change in the foreground colors is really shown well here as the Blue and Green backgrounds swap out. It also creates an optical illusion with the foreground shapes, which appear to be pulsing in size when the backgrounds change!

Homage to the Wind (after Albers) - excerpts from Gail Wight on Vimeo.
These videos use Josef Albers Homage to the Square, in which he investigated color in context, to think about my perceptions of the environment in context. They're experiments in juxtaposition, to challenge how I see my world. These five short clips (excerpts here) are about "seeing" the invisible, in this case the wind. Interesting, they also work as color experiments. In some, there appear to be digital artifacts of color jumps, but if you cover squares from view, it becomes obvious that there are no artifacts, and that the video is smooth and continuous. The perceived jumps in color are the result of our eyes adjusting to shifting juxtapositions.
