CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2018 A peek at the early days of light discovery and images of celestial events (also explored in "PULSAR"). I imagine these images depicting light as it travels through the historical and now hypothetical "aether". This exploration has opened our imagination into what is further possible in the field of lumia (light art). Through reflections, films and different light sources, there are many more discoveries on the horizon.

CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2018 We wanted to explore the core value of light, so in SANCTUS white light was contorted and pushed through a prism creating a ballet of rainbows. We then set this beautiful dance to an improvised set by the Infinite Strangers. Enjoy. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2018 Dispersion looks at how light interacts through multiple prisms. This hands-on experiment discovered new combinations of colors beyond human imagination. We set the video to an equally experimental track by Brains & Hutch. Enjoy. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2018 Dedrochronology is not only a mouthful, but it's the science of aging trees based on their rings. We examined this science through colorful lumia patterns reflected onto the canvas that was a beautiful tree stump. Results below.    Two bonus shots of desert rock piles bathed in dichroic light.   CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2018 An experiment in immersive light. Down the Rabbit Hole has you staring right into the light at the end of the tunnel. Photons of all colors brush right past your face as you're glued to your seat. An inviting but challenging track from Infinite Strangers challenges your perceptions, time moves slower. Come and follow us down. CLIENT: Exotic Matter | DATE: October, 2018 Blended worlds across time, light and mirror. A cerebral experience of Exotic Matter's track "HORIZONS" we created with some colorful lumia. Sit back and let the light soak in. https://soundcloud.com/exoticmattermn  CLIENT: N/A | DATE: July, 2018 SUPERLUMINAL: communication and travel are the conjectural propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. Utilizing the smooth jams of Ross Auger again, this video creates pattern and thought from a hyper look at light, reflection and color. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: June, 2018 A derivative of our initial creation Constellation, Chaotic // Order is a rearrangement of the mirrored pyramids to create new structures. Here eight pyramids circle one central pyramid that are mapped all together and individually to create a playable structure. You can see bits of this sculpture in action from our Interactive Salon performance. Music by sleepdealer. BELOW: Testing harmonies of opposite sides of the color wheel through a prism. CLIENT: Trent Kim | DATE: June, 2018 Following a successful 2017 presentation, I was primed and ready to come back with even more groundbreaking lumia projects. This presentation picked up from where I left off and was titled "Technologically Mediated Lumia Continued." Using many of the same techniques and equipment, I focused even further on interactive qualities that bring light art techniques into the modern age. CLIENT: Art Works Eagan | DATE: May, 2018 In a follow up event to Lighting the Way, Ben Hunder, one of the Infinite Strangers, and Second Sight Visuals put on an entirely interactive showcase at Art Works Eagan. On the visual side we had a hand held lumia station and a kinect "light shadow" for people to play with. There was also a light painting booth with our Kinetic Colors App and I controlled a projection mapped lumia sculpture. For audio, guests were encouraged to manipulate sound through midi controllers, keyboards and other digital means. Overall it seemed like a huge success, everyone from the youngest of guests to the oldest got in on the action.  CLIENT: N/A | DATE: May, 2018 Playing on the success of Chaotic // Order, we experimented with doing more hands-on techniques with lumia and light manipulation onto the sculpture. Metallic film, prisms, custom glass plates, and more. Music by Eyes For Ears.   CLIENT: Art Works Eagan | Date: April, 2018 The first venture into phone app creation was this experiment known as Kinetic Colors. Using data from your cell phone's accelerometer and gyroscope, the app changes colors to reflect speed and position. As you move the phone around in space, you are able to draw with light and color with the help of long exposure photography. Check out a few of the cool results and download the app for Android below. Some photos taken with the help of Andrew Skalak and Matt McNeil. 
CLIENT: N/A | DATE: March, 2017 Two layers of projection merge and blend playing host to positive and negative spaces. The first is a front projected sphere whose contents shift through a feedback-styled dance. The second is a reflected lumia projection harnessing colors that push through the white noise. This style was harnessed live during the Art-Tech Experience. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: February, 2018 These snake-like forms feel as though they are almost moving right out of the image. The prism/spectrum coloration along with the scaly moire pattern helps the illusion as well. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: February, 2018 Five dichroic prisms lineup to shine bright. The first round of experiments involving light and shadow along with different angles to increase saturation and change the color output. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: February, 2018 A new series that explores bending light in new and unexpected ways. Colorful compositions were created and then projected out into the darkness. These fragments of light were then reassembled in camera. Little to no post was done on these even though they look like a sci-fi space scene. CLIENT: Can Can Wonderland | DATE: December, 2017 After a chance meeting with "Stan the 3D man" over a year ago, I reached back out to utilize his 3D shadow technology for an NYE party at Can Can Wonderland. My contact there had 200+ pairs of red/cyan anaglyph 3D glasses but no way to use them. We procured and facilitated the installation near the back stage so guests could both view and interact with the fun and cool effect of the 3D shadows. Great for all ages. Get in touch if you'd like to have this on stage or at your event.  CLIENT: Joey Pecoraro | DATE: December, 2017 Taking some video footage from our Fusilis series, we edited and transformed it into a dancing lumia interpretation for the killer track, "Sour Sweets" by Joey Pecoraro. Dive into the feels. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: December, 2017 Welcome, you are now entering a bizarre place between dimensions. Here, geographic planes both exist and don't exist simultaneously. Topographical renders have appeared to us but only in abstract photography. Dive into the ooze. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: December, 2017 In further attempts to find ways in which light acts like a liquid, we find ourselves discovering new ways to see. Fusilis, from the Latin "molten, soften, liquid", was the best word to describe this new series. Multiple lights of changing color come into and out of focus as they dance across the lens. We've created a photo series and also explored this phenomenon in video form as well. Slowing it down to analyze the behavior at a higher frame rate. Here we get 60s light show vibes and unique lumia patterns. See them in motion here. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: November, 2017 Energy. Light. Frequency. Color. All are examined in -=L U C I D=-. In a series of long exposure photographs, the colors of the spectrum and chakra are performed and created over time. Each bearing its own unique outcome and properties. CLIENT: N/A | DATE: October, 2017 Sculpture will never be the same. Through a new project from Second Sight Visuals, projection mapping, light art, interactive technologies and physical sculpture combine in a modular piece we call Constellation. Starting off with Ursa Major's iconic Big Dipper, we tested a proof of concept where light played and danced off of a reflective sculpture that bares the shape of said constellation. The interactivity comes through all sorts of controllers such as tapping out beats and playing it like a drum, using buttons in chords like an organ, or having a Wii remote work like a flashlight and explore the piece that way. Additionally testing is in the works for audio reactivity and using this sculpture in a live music setting. The opportunities for unique interactions with the sculpture are truly limitless and we are excited to dive in further.  CLIENT: N/A | DATE: October, 2017 New shots from new discoveries involving my pure silver film. These photos were created by making unique visuals and then shooting them through a cylinder of the film or using the film as a mirror to get a new perspective on the blended colors.   CLIENT: Shrimpnose | DATE: November, 2017 What do you get when you cross handmade visuals with extreme slow motion? Well basically what you are about to watch below. Using the track "worry" from Minneapolis producer Shrimpnose, we set a selection of lava looking light into motion to vibe with the spirit of the song. Colors dance and shift with the slightest of movement creating a unique visual. This was then turned into a lumia version before with the high contrast and deep blacks helping create negative space.   CLIENT: all so frightened | DATE: September, 2017 Dichroic film clashes with macro videography in this stunning visual accompaniment to the song, "I Don't Follow." Through a mix of lumia and surreal lightscapes, colors and shapes form and fold to dazzle your eyes. |
