LIGHTING artists
Phototouch (by Grant) A custom iPad app that lets users control Dopevan's main dance floor lights with an intuitive multi-touch screen
Circumdance (by PanChromatics) A hexadecagon PixelPusher installation that surrounds the dance floor and is controllable by interactive iPad
Juggling Molecules (by Video Alchemy Collective: Jason Stephens and Owen Williams) A responsive flow field of illuminated particles
BigPOV (by Grant) A 25-foot column of LED pixels that magically makes 2D images out of a 1D line
A Grove of Palms (by Decadent Oasis) Straight from the playa, this Burning Man camp brings a luminescent forest of palm trees, as seen on the Esplanade this year
Light Orchestra (by Ka-Ping Yee) is a visual instrument that you can play with your body—it's like a musical instrument, but you're producing light, not sound. A wall of 1250 full-colour LEDs, 20 feet tall, is at your command. Walk up and be the conductor! With a small gesture, create a flicker; with a sweeping motion, throw fountains of colour.
Asplode (by PanChromatics) Yet *another* iPad controlled PixelPusher installation that debuted at Frolic 2013
Dancers (by Grisecon) The altar built for Mystery 2012, dancing ladies adorned with EL wire, will make an appearance along Lighting Lane
Nest (by Kev!n Byall) Kev!n makes tangible art; art that begs to be touched, walked around, interacted with and embraced in the real world. He experiments with materials, such as the InstaMorph moldable plastic used in this piece. It is but one material and one form. NEST was originally a concept piece created specifically for the Rhythm Society and debuted at the March ANDC (Home) this year.
Gyre (by Kev!n Byall) Recycled from another polymorphic plastic experiment for the Rhythm Society’s June ANDC (Superheroic), the parts that make up this piece form an aquatic looking form Kev!n calls Gyre. He envisions it as a life form born of plastic spawned in one of the plastic gyres of the worlds oceans.
