Fabricating Color brings together fifteen artists, humanists, social scientists, and scientists for whom color is a lifelong source of fascination. The questions that motivate these speakers – What is color? How do humans and animals make sense of color? How does color come to have social and cultural meaning? – speak to the readiness with which the topic of color traverses the disciplines. This multidisciplinary conference marks a major assessment of what we know about color and how our research methods help to shape these specific understandings.
