Rogue Planets
Presented by Frank Malachi, Rogue Planets explores ideas, culture and conversations through interviews and field recordings. This week: The Winsor & Newton Colour Archive – Art, Chemistry, Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Colour. Frank welcomes Stephanie Nebbia, resident artist at Winsor & Newton, and Colart chemical engineer Johny Meghames to explore the history of artists’ colour, pigment science and the future of sustainable colour-making. Stephanie introduces the Winsor & Newton Colour Archive, a rare collection dating back to 1832 that traces the evolution of artists’ materials and pigment innovation. Johny offers a scientific perspective on pigment research and colour formulation, including the challenges of developing safer, more sustainable artists’ materials. Together, we consider whether artificial intelligence could help unlock historical pigment knowledge and inspire naturally derived colours for the future. Visit Instagram @rogueplanets_fm104.4.
