Colour Charts 2.0: A Digital Study

Colour Charts 2.0: A Digital Study is an experimental short film built from a single 4096×4096 image containing the complete RGB color space.
Through an algorithmic process, this color archive becomes a fluid, evolving grid — an image that behaves like a system rather than a photograph.
The work unfolds in eight 64-second cycles, subdivided into rhythmic 8-second sequences.
An original soundtrack follows the same structural logic: an 8-beat pulse, quantized tones, and repeating modules.
Together, sound and image form a precise audiovisual study of digital order, perception, and chromatic intensity.

Director Biography - Jürgen Leufgen

I studied computer science with a focus on linguistics, neural networks, and artificial intelligence. After graduation, I worked as an IT manager and cloud automation architect in international companies.

Colour Charts 2.0 belongs to an ongoing body of experimental work. The project explores absence, interruption, and perceptual gaps through a non-linear audiovisual structure. Using generative imagery and algorithmic motion, the film examines how meaning emerges not from narration, but from what remains unresolved or unseen.

Director Statement

With Colour Charts 2.0: A Digital Study I wanted to create a film that treats colour not as decoration, but as raw material — as data, structure, and rhythm. The entire work is generated from a single 4096×4096 image containing the complete RGB colour space. This image is not used as a picture in the traditional sense; it becomes a system. Through a custom shader, the dataset is re-ordered, folded, and animated into an evolving chromatic field that constantly oscillates between control and instability.
