Digital colour gadfly. Antihumanist. Antipositivist. Acolyte of moving / static pixel hermeneutics and thaumaturgy. Make creative things matter.

“Comparison of Perceived Brightness and Colorfulness for Different Display Technologies”

More of the same nonsense rubbish.

Folks, Munsell already solved the stimuli to sensory force issue back in 1907. These “research” papers just keep chasing the same myopic nonsense around stimuli […]

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

Does anyone remember the Reinhart-Rogoff affair? The paper that was widely used to justify austerity policies, but where the main result was only an artifact due to the researchers screwing up their Excel formulas?

Kind of interesting that if we start with a visible spectral smattering quantity of energy called `S`, the sole way to have a probability of inducing a cognition of colour is to shift *away* from that `S`.

If we abide by energy conservation, it is implicit that the energy decrements.
