Artwork

RGB is a spatial arrangement of nine cubes made of transparent material in the three basic colours – red, green and blue – and appropriate lighting. In the context of this exhibition the colours are symbols of Art, Science and Politics and the conviction of the curators that these represent a continuum of knowledge changing hues.

The object is a large-format interpretation of the additive method of colour mixing based on the physiological mechanism of human-eye reception. In a sense, it also refers to the beginnings of media, when the RGB model was first used in analogue technology. There are still monitors that work on the basis of the RGB light emission method.

The principal idea of the installation is to play in search of colour. Going through the maze of cubes, visitors can observe the colours permeating and mixing. The phenomenon is a result of interplay among the boxes and the small windows cut out in them. The resulting colour compositions observed by the viewers are different for different cubes. Moreover, by changing the angle of vision through the square hollows, the observer is guaranteed to discover new colour compositions.
