Interview With Al Mefer - Visual Atelier 8

Al Mefer is an artist and neuroscientist based in Alicante, Spain. He makes us experience the world differently, by using our imagination.

Excerpt from the interview (lightly edited for typos):

"The alien feelings your images arouse in the public are enhanced also by the use of particular colors. Please explain to us how exactly they excite our sight biologically?

There’s quite a few levels of color perception, from cones in the eyes to the associative cortices. But I don’t believe these are so important to explain how colors in my pictures are psychologically processed as much as semantic memories. We know that certain objects usually are of a certain color. When this regularity is violated and something is seen in a color that is both infrequent and biologically salient (as red is in blood or pink hues in the skin), our attention is drawn to these images in ways we never experienced before."
