London – At the upcoming 13th IAFOR International Conference on Arts and Humanities (July 10–14), hosted at University College London in partnership with Osaka University and Birkbeck, independent researcher Mario Savini will present a bold new take on how we perceive seismic events. His paper, titled “Color Theory: How to Visually Interpret an Earthquake,” introduces a visual system that assigns color gradients to earthquakes based on their magnitude and depth. Savini’s approach uses a mathematical formula to map seismic data onto a color scale inspired by pH indicators, producing a specific HEX code for each event. Alongside the paper, a web app will be unveiled that allows users to view the real-time color equivalent of an earthquake. Savini, who teaches Contemporary Art History at the University of Camerino’s School of Architecture and Design, situates his work in the intersection of art and science, exploring how visual arts can offer alternative ways to interpret natural phenomena.
