Скачать или смотреть A brief history of the invention of modern color | Susan Clark | TEDxBasel

Are you wearing purple or magenta right now? Thank a chemist. Susan Clark leads an exploration of color, examining an exiting time in the dye industry when chemistry was finally able to reproduce the colours found in nature.

A longstanding love of textiles, color, and everything visual took Susan Clark (Saskatoon), a Canadian native, to live in Japan and subsequently Basel, a city who's major industrial focus, pharmaceuticals, was born out of the local dye industry. She has published many articles and reviews on the arts, and is particularly interested in the development of synthetic dyes, and the shift to industrial textile production.
