With the arrival of spring, World Color Day returns again this year, inviting us to reflect and work with renewed optimism in organizing the 14th AIC congress to be held in Milan. Having now set aside the hope of being able to celebrate it in person, we are working to create the necessary connections with the new technologies available to maintain the feeling of community around the interest in color.
We will welcome new speakers and organize some virtual tours that, while sitting comfortably in front of the computer, will offer the opportunity to get to know Milan, which in addition to its historic center offers different and interesting perspectives.
Sessions
We are announcing the sixth special session: ”LIGHT BEYOND COLOURS: THE NC-CIE ITALY”. Many of the topics covered in the AIC Conference are shared with the CIE Division 1 (Vision and Colour) and Division 8 (Digital Imaging).
Researchers and expert of lighting, operating in all the divisions of the NC-CIE Italy and also in other CIE NCs are invited to present the most relevant and up to date researches and activities carried out within the wider CIE-umbrella. We are aware that fruitful discussions about the CIE’s most recent arguments will promote connections among the different divisions and will encourage the proposal of new research strategies. Contributions that address this topic are welcome.
