YOF

YOF, formed in 2015 by members of Takayoshi Ohara, Ryu Furusawa and Tomoyuki Yanagawa, is a group that conducts research on color and visual transmission and visual expression. New visual expressions that are produced as a result of studies of color interaction (Valeur) on a screen such as paintings have structures that work on the state of image formation and cause cracks in visual perception... We assume that all images in digital media can be expressed in units called pixels. Each of the pixels in the image retains its own values for color and location, and each has a reciprocal power within the interrelationships of the whole. The effect imparted by a change in a single pixel may be insignificant, but as changes accumulate, they gradually take on a larger power to mold the impression of the whole. We believe that the true identity of that power-that is, the valeur, or color value-is the most important factor in shaping the image, and we have made it possible to quantify that power..
