What is red?

So... decided not to use eye tracking as my project,
a) too expensive
b) too expensive
c) didn't know where i was going with it anyway.

Decided to stick with using the internet as my medium and to stick with colour perception and make something interactive that is affected directly by people's differing perceptions of colour.
Have looked at Olafur Eliasson and his work 'Your uncertainty of colour matching experiment, 2006'. Found this really interesting that people matched such a vast range of colours with the blue.


I tested my hearing range on a random website i found that my audio range was from 30 Hz to 17000Hz. I think it would be interesting to make an installation or some sort of immersive work that only certain people could see and/or hear. But then i have no idea what the sometimes invisible pictures would actually depict so flag that idea for now.

Interested in colour, and what is actually red? and who decided that red was red anyway?? Pantone? So i am thinking of making a web site where people could submit what they think of as 'red', and the primary and secondary colours in the form of a photograph. These photos would add together as they were uploaded to make 'true' versions of each colour based on what people submit.

NOW>>>> i have to learn how to use dream weaver. yaaaaaay. and try and get a site up and running so i can get people to submit colour photographs so i can find out what red is
