FROM CONFIGURABLE ART
Felipe Pantone’s manipulable art is a testimony of the way information is consumed nowadays, being personalization a key element of engagement in the digital era, and allowing the viewer to be an active collaborator that has a decisive say in the final appearance of the artwork.
Subtractive Variability Compact combines the manipulable aspect with the operation of the CMY model in which endless shades of the chromatic spectrum are obtained from the subtraction of light that happens when the three colors are combined in their different variations.
The construction of the subtractive color model allowed the standardization of printing around the world and was quickly adapted to industrial means of production. Each historical moment is accompanied by the visuality that allows its technological development, with CMY being the model that refers to a universe built from the notions of development, speed, connectivity, globalization and industrialization; a leitmotiv in Pantone’s work.
