"The Chromoscope is an instrument for us to carry, as we would carry a spyglass. It is an instrument intended to operate the transfiguration of the nocturnal landscape of large cities. Its attraction does not reside on the object itself but on the visual event that it generates. It is a piece that acts as intermediary between the reality and our eye, conditioning our sight to a new perception of our surroundings."
