We receive around 80 percent of our sensory impressions through our eyes – and everything we see is colored. But we don’t even think about how big an impact colors have on our daily lives. We are constantly guided by colors in our decisions: when choosing food, clothing, home furnishings or when buying a car. In nature and in everyday life, colors provide us with information and orientation, but our perception of color is almost exclusively subconscious.
“X:enius” deals with the question of how exactly colors affect our senses, our feelings and our behavior. The program “X:enius” is the weekday knowledge magazine on ARTE. 26 minutes of airtime are dedicated to a special topic from everyday life and the big world of science and research. The presenters tour Europe with their knowledge mobile, always on the lookout for the knowledge that moves the world. Unorthodox questions can be expected as well as exciting encounters with the leading minds in science.
