Shadows can have colors !
Exhibition: Color Shadows - Irokage
（Anti-Dadaisｍ）
Actualized Color Shadows are:
The first-ever art on the science of colors and shadows.
The art of Impressionism was on the science of colors
and lights.
In essence, Irokage is a coevolutional art of conscious
(visual perception) and objects (colors and shadows),
and is an art of extended idea (semi-idea existence).
● Scientific reasons of shadow coloring.
1. Shadows, like color of black, absorb light.
2. Colors are light.
3. White reflects light diffusely.
4. Black absorbs light.
5. Defused reflections (disordered wavelengths) of
colored light get paler.
6. Not-colored shadows are results of total color
absorption.
7. Red contains the shadows of absorbed colors
except red.
Blue contains the shadows of absorbed colors
except blue.
Yellow contains the shadows of absorbed colors
except yellow.
8. Light and Shadows are the same, but differ in
their brightness.
9. Colors only exist inside our consciousness within
the brain, and the original light waves exist outside
of our brain.
10. Colors appear when the symmetry of wavelengths
is broken.
● Guidance to appreciate Irokage Color Shadows
1. Color shadows appear clearer, when the contrasts
of white light and shadows are bigger.
2. There is a general belief that color shadows do
not exist in real; however, forget this stereotype.
3. This art produces a new coevolution of conscious
and objects, and creates fresh conscious and things.
4. Art has functions to defy shabby stereotype, and
to broaden our perspective.
5. Irokage is the science of colors and shadows.
6. Impressionism is the science of colors and lights.
● Notes
Colors only exist inside our consciousness within the
brain, and what extant outside are wavelengths of
lights.
Wavelengths are origins of colors.
When humans were apes, plants evolved to acquire
their colors.
Consequently, humans’perceptions (cognition /
consciousness toits senses) had evolved to distinguish
colors, and become able toattain suitable food to survive.
This is coevolution. Biological coevolutions often take
place when creatures face threat of extinction.
Theory of Extended Idea (Semi-Idea Existence)
and Evolution of Contemporary Art
What is extended idea ?
It is an idea conscious which is attained through five
senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch; these are
five faculties by which outside stimuli are perceived)
of humans/living organisms, and is accompanied with
physical stimuli.
The perception (consciousness), which is got through
five senses, can only exist inside our conscious within
the brain.
Then what are images or inspirations ?
They are basic ideas.
They are non-objects which transcend space and time,
and beings in absolute eternity.
They are archetypes of each object in sensory world,
and recognized by pure rational thought.
These being can be considered as the sixth sense.
The role of art is to develop the sixth and brand-new
sense.
Art has to be a creation where innovativeness and
individuality are crystallized.
Then what is the essence of the contemporary art ?
It is to create artworks which drive coevolution of
consciousness and objects, and to produce new idea
forms where extended ideas (semi-idea existence)
are intrinsic.
Example: Color Shadow, Dadaism, Anti-Dadaism, etc.
Concrete measures;
1. To contemplate about the true nature of existence
of things and events.
2. To actualize things that were considered as impossible
to exist (actuality in and out of the brain).
3. To nicely draw people's attention to hidden beautiful
things which are in daily space and time but nobody
has noticed.
