World's biggest Lumia? Stratus 10 at ArtPrize

[clickamouse]

Greetings, all;

I have an entry into ArtPrize this year: "Stratus 10", which is 6.5W of lumia upside an inside wall which is 16' wide by 24 stories tall, some 4000 sq ft. of RGB-ness.



Full story here: http://mikegouldlaserartist.com
ArtPrize explanation: http://www.artprize.org

I have designed, built, and am showing a contraption consisting of 6 "laser cannons" (2 each of R,G, and B) supported by a large theatrical lighting tripod which is ballasted by 360 lbs. of sandbags. All in the atrium of the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids.



The blues are from DTR, 2W jobbies run from flexMods set at 1.5W.
The reds are from CDBeam, 700 mW each from P73's.
The greens are 1W viashos from Marc at CT Lasers.



I'm thinking this may be the world's largest indoor lightshow; anybody know of any that are bigger?

The event runs until Oct. 7; I encourage every midwest PLer (I'm looking at you, Mr. Polishedball sir), to drop by and say hi. We run after the sun goes down, 8:00 to midnight.

More pix and info soon.

Mr. Gas: GR is 2hours from Ann Arbor, so more from Toledo, I figger. I would be honored to meet you.

All: there are some preliminary videos on the web site and Facebook places.

Looks great. Nice work, Mike.

You might be interested to see the project I did earlier this year: http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...inated-obelisk. I also used lumias to illuminate a vertical structure.

Last chance to dig the lasers in Grand Rapids.

Starting to run out of time here; I'm running this 7:30 to 11:00 every night until this Saturday (Oct. 6).

Haven't seen any PLers yet - where is everybody?

Please stop by and dig the lumia and have a chat!

Bar on premises...
