Authors Phia Benen and Brendan Mcmullan explain in the article “Color Walking”, the art of color walking where you choose a color for a day then follow that color around a city. The authors the emphatically state the benefits that can come from observing colors in society. One of the primary examples that is used is the city of New York, where both authors wrote accounts of what they saw. They create a digital photographic account of the different blocks and boroughs of the city to give a visual image to the audience of the colors they were seeing. Near the end of the article, the authors explain how the colors that they had focused on the entire day had still left a “tinge” in their eyes and thoughts. It had truly changed they perception of what color truly meant and how we as a society look past it because is seen so much. In order to recreate this experiment, the reader is told to spend an entire day and just focus on one color. If he audience loses any sight of that one color through the day, they are then supposed to choose another color to follow. Coincidentally if their are lost, they have achieved the right goal in that they had immersed themselves into one color. Overall I felt as though this was very well written and thought-provoking piece on what influence sight and sound can truly have on the human mind. A mix of digital images as well as provocative language imagery really develops a connection between the reader and the experiment.
