‘the color of’ – a visual instagram collaging app by fung kwok pan

‘the color of’ app is an art project by singaporean designer, fung kwok pan. it is based on his popular web art experiment to objectively find the colour of things based on flickr. when users search for a term, ‘the color of’ finds instagram images based on their tags, and overlap them to form an abstract image, which can be then shared on facebook and twitter, or saved as a phone’s wallpaper. 

the concept adds on to the emerging field of new media and data art, where the work goes beyond a static medium by co-creating an art piece together with the user, the photo community and their ever-changing data. as a mobile app, users now have a piece of the project with them for an extended art experience anywhere and anytime.

users can dowload the app for free on iTunes here.
