For Dutch Design Week 2016, from 22 until 30 October, Design Academy Eindhoven and the Van Abbemuseum once again join forces for an exhibition: Broken White. For centuries colour was thought of in terms of light falling onto an object and being reflected to a greater or lesser extent. Total reflection results in white, absolute absorption in black. But the digital revolution has changed everything:.the screens that are ever present nowadays aren’t objects reflecting light. They radiate light themselves. The source of colour has changed and with it its appearance.
