All sensory descriptions of the environment have a significant influence on our experience and actions. This includes changes in matter, such as those in the atmosphere. Our brain constantly compensates for atmospheric changes in colors, shapes and movements. As a result, we perceive the material structure of the environment as relatively constant, although every change has an unconscious effect on our physical state. Changes in light and color influence all vegetative bodily functions, such as metabolism, breathing, blood pressure and muscle tone. Our emotional moods also change with the atmosphere of the rooms we stay in, while we rarely realize the reason for this.
The daily program of the “farbfest am bauhaus dessau” includes lectures and discussions that take an interdisciplinary look at the topic “instead of color: light”. The focus on Friday, 2.9.2011, is “Festive culture at the Bauhaus” and on Saturday, 3.9.2011, “Light in architecture, design and art”.
