The website also allows readers to zoom in on the plates and rearrange the colored shapes, add highlights and notes to the texts, access in-text glossary terms, watch plate video commentaries, view videos of Albers and his students, and create and share their own plates. The digital edition includes interactive versions of those plates plus 60 more, bringing the total to 122.
In the physical book, the plates served as exercises that reproduced the illusions and perceptions of color interactions described in the text. When examining this resource, it is interesting to reflect on how the physical object has evolved over time and has now been made available as a website. At the heart of the site is the complete text of the 50th-anniversary edition and its color plates. The Interaction of Color Complete Digital Edition expands upon Albers’ classic art education work and offers a new and exciting way to experience it. Yale University Press and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation recently transformed Interaction of Color into an interactive website.
