About

The colour patterns are the artistic result of years of research into numbers and their functionality on computer screens. Individually, and grouped into collages, they talk to us through shapes, lines and colours, as they change gradually.  

They are available as art without revealing the technique of their creation. 

As a digital veteran and woman in a male dominated scientific world, I hope I have learned enough from my negative experiences, so that these patterns can pave the way to scientific enlightenment on the broadest possible scale.  

For ultimately, they lead us to LIGHT and DIGITS as the basis of metrology & modelling, rather than MATTER and PHYSICS as the basis of measuring.

A number-based colour system that unites RGB and CMYK could have several commercial applications:

Printing Industry: Ensuring colour consistency between digital designs (RGB) and printed materials (CMYK) can be challenging. A unified system would streamline the process, reducing discrepancies and improving colour accuracy.

Graphic Design: Designers often work across both digital and print media. A unified colour system would simplify their workflow, allowing them to maintain consistent colours across different platforms.

Branding: Companies could ensure their brand colours are consistent across all mediums, from websites to printed brochures, enhancing brand recognition and trust.

Manufacturing: Industries like textiles, plastics, and automotive could benefit from a unified colour system to ensure consistent colour matching across different materials and production processes.

Marketing and Advertising: Agencies could create campaigns that look the same on screens and in print, ensuring a cohesive visual identity.

Software Development: Developers of design and editing software could integrate the unified colour system, providing users with a seamless experience when switching between digital and print projects.

E-commerce: Online retailers could use the system to ensure product images match the actual product colours, reducing returns and improving customer satisfaction.

These applications highlight the potential for a unified colour system to enhance efficiency, consistency, and quality across various industries.

About me

I studied maths and computing in Darmstadt, Germany, before I was offered a job at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland. In the "Programming Enquiry Office" we would solve the computer problems that physicists presented us with. I also taught FORTRAN to summer students until I was bored and wanted to leave CERN. 

Being offered two months of work exchange in Berkeley, I travelled with a friend who, unfortunately, fell asleep at the steering wheel. That began a life of chronic pains and psychological research, since doctors said that my pains were "psychological". 

I got so much out of it that I wanted to pass it on to the world and offered to organise conferences. In 1979 I had bought my first APPLE computer which acted as accountant, secretary and publisher. 

When life's calling sent me to London, I organised public events and in 1997 I stumbled into a book on prime numbers which was the beginning of my obsession with numbers through the eyes of a "digital veteran". 

The colour patterns are the current milestone of my discoveries that don't seem to end in my "software-aided thinking".
