Viridian - Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies
In its’ inaugural episode, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies presents . . . VIRIDIAN.
Join us as we discuss VIRIDIAN’s varied and noxious history involving the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Paolo Veronese. We also get into the weeds regarding our associations surrounding VIRIDIAN through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
There is also a heated debate regarding a undecidedly viridian colored couch (see below) - be sure to cast your vote.
The song featured in this episode was “I need to do it to be alive” by Soft and Furious from the album Diving in the Self which is one of a hundred incredible songs by Rrrrrose of Loyalty Freak Music.
