Derivatives William Shakespeare Dramas

REALISATION

ab (10/23)

Background colour derivative of the abstract of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Foreground colour derivative of the abstract of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

The individual derivatives measure 300 cm x 150 cm.

RULEBOOK

(09/23)

Size

The derivatives are realised in the size 30 x 15 cm.

The representation of the colour values is done in bars with a height of 15 cm, the width was calculated according to the following rules.

Background

For the background colour derivative, the colour values of all tiles occurring in the respective work are counted.

From this, the percentage share of the colour in the overall work is calculated (number of tiles colour / number of tiles overall work). This multiplied by the total width of the work of 300 cm gives the width of the colour bar. The height is 15 cm.

The individual colours are arranged in the order of their first appearance in the work. The arrangement is from left to right

Foreground

For the foreground colour derivative, the text lines that occur in the colour in the work ( Act, Scene, Speaker, Text, Direction) are counted for the colour values of the font or cover that occur in the respective work.

From this, the percentage share of the colour in the total text lines of the work is calculated (number of text lines colour / number of text lines total work). This multiplied by the total width of the work of 300 cm gives the width of the colour bar. The height is 15 cm.

The individual colours are arranged in the order of their first appearance in the work. The arrangement is from left to right

CONCEPT

(09/23)
From the abstraction of the respecitive play, the colour information of each tile is extracted and presented separately by foreground and background rule-based according to their spatial occurrence. The focus of the work is on the colour combinations and their sequence to emphasise their rhythm.

TASKS

(09/23)

• Definition of the formats
• Definition of the splitting logic

IDEE

(09/23)
The abstractions alone are too complex in perception to represent pure colour logic. By removing the textual information, the colour logic of the abstraction can be represented to all by itself.
