The Colours of the Sphere project is an interactive, contributory digital artwork which explores the meaning of colour at this era in our history.

In three dimensions the project is a gallery based interactive artwork to allow visitors to explore the world of colour stories left by previous contributors; in a second dimension visitors are able to make their contribution to the artwork by selecting a colour using a specially designed interface system to collect demographic details and also record a video message (all contributors also receive a personalized certificate recording their contribution to the artwork); and ina final third dimension the database of colour details which is being built from the details of the contributions provides an analytical search engine of colour.

The first two dimensions of the project are underway and a programme of showing and contribution is being planned fro Sept 07-May '08 during which time we hope to build up the current 500 contributions to several thousands.

Images of the current manifestation of the project in its development stages can be found HERE - viewing, whilst details of the contribution process can be found HERE - contributing .
