Review

from Hastings Coastal Currents Festival, 2007:

‘Hardened cynics, hard to please teenagers, hard at work production crews and children of all ages; every single one of them came out of the Chroma-van glowing and smiling. We could have done with a dozen Chroma-vans to fill the need as word spread. Not only a joy to the soul but scarily accurate in its portrait of nearly everyone who entered its white womb like interior. Loved it, will be getting you back for more next year.’

The Physics of Colour

The colour we see in the green of grass, for instance, was part of the sun itself just eight minutes previously; all the other colours are absorbed and only the green is reflected back for us to see.
We actually see colour as light that is radiated at different wavelengths. And light itself is simply a form of energy in a visible form. But as this light energy falls on us it has an effect, both physical and psychic - for even blindfolded colours can alter our heart rate and pulse.

Technology

The ChromaVan houses a wall array of miniature low voltage RGB LED lighting circuit-boards which powers the elegant and comfortable interior of the remodelled caravan. A DMX lighting control system allows us to mix colour and explore the spectrum, whilst a computer deciphers the colour choices participants make before printing out their personalised colour reading.

Colour Emotion

Groups of 4 or 5 are invited to come in, sit down and enjoy a soothing 12 minute experience - from soaking in colour to a personalised colour reading.

Saturate yourself in pure colour, feel how it affects your body and emotions, and discover a little more about how to colour your life.
