    Default Music video with lumia now on Youtube

    Greetings, all;

    We just finished up a project that involved gobs of lumia shining on a young singer. Some conventional beam fx and astronomical video from a projector as well:

    You may recognize my lunchbox graphics projector from the thread at:

    http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...Wonder-(LLBOW)

    Here it serves as a sort of prop transporting you from the boring black and white world to colorful laserlandia.

    AFAIK, this is the first music video that has lumia - anybody know of any others?

    Thanks...Mike

    cool mike!

    here's a def leppard video with lumia:

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Ah, thanks Chris. Looks like Laserium in LA at the Griffith Planetarium. Hard to compete with that.

    OK, ours is the first music video with lumia featuring a girl singer shot in my basement studio... ;-)
    How's that?

    Cheers...Mike

    your video was awesome.. it looked like maybe you had lumia behind and in front of her (to keep it off her face) or was that just compositing?

    Yup, projected mostly behind her, augmented by very carefully aimed lumia on her dress. A lot of effort went into keeping it off of her face.
    She was fully coached as to how to interact with the lasers, and a hand was over the E-stop switch the entire time to prevent accidental exposure.

    Glad you liked it!

    WoW....Another first. I am becoming more and more mesmerized by Lumia. I have been to " La Source Lumia ".....were Mike envisions, then builds the machines that warp the photons into unearthly and ethereal whispers of light.
    .

    His latest work is " Gary Garcia level " mind numbing !!! I was staring at the Astral Plane of un Photon gambiller ....when it hit me....where in nature had I seen a similar display....SOLAR PROMINENCE.....see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_prominence. See you now below....my " Theory de Lumina "
    .
    Art....when distilled down and down ....and down is pattern recognition....And the patterns displayed by Mike's work....well....they would bring a tear to the eye of Timothy Leary !!!. The most impactful displays....are almost always somehow connected with patterns seen in nature. I speculate...that these natural patterns....as seen in Lumia....unfolded before our eyes....somehow connect with the human subconscious....and it is in that connection we resonate with nature.....I call it Visual Gregorian Chant.....That is what Lumia is like !!!
    .
    And.....as with audio chant....the patterns repeat....and repeat....but....have extremely subtle changes....changes that we struggle to recognize....yet patterns so completely hypnotizing !!! Pattern evolution that rivets our attention....but does not tax our higher brain functions. So...the same pattern...but....simultaneously...constantly changing....and yet...never boring !!
    .
    It is a theory of mine that this mechanism is in play with Lumia display...in a fundamental way. Take for example the ability of...a log fire....or the waves of the ocean breaking to capture the attention of anyone.... Why is this universally so ???? WHY ??? Well you have my theory....and this then is why I think Lumia...rivets our attention !!
    .
    ( Why....yes....I do wear a tinfoil hat...why do you ask ??? haha.......and....que the violin music from the movie " Young Frankenstein " !! )
    .
    Mike...Please...DO continue to regale us with your adventures....into the yet undiscovered country of Lumia !! Thanx !!!!!

    ^^^^ you nailed it, Bob....
    Fire- and the colors it can make-..Brain-engrained by countless hours watching a campfire- etc.

    We had two fireplaces in both of my boyhood homes-built by my father-
    He had a friend w/ a 'fireplace' store so we had those greenblue chunks of magic fire light color stuff..
    Josha Light Show at the Doors ('69) at Filmore East blew my mind. Had to have more...

    Thank you Len !!
    .
    I must admit....This topic has been rattling around in my head for about 25 years !! Reference US Patent 6006461 and 6393744
    These patents are for " Display devices " which incorporate non-linear turbulent flow. The ideas were born from my work within the Steel Industry which uses water model- flow visualization for liquid steel quality improvement.
    .
    Some product hit the market based upon the 6006461 patent.
    .
    So...as the patents show...I was wearing a " Tin Foil hat "....decades ago !!
    .
    Regardless...I still believe that the basic concept remains valid. No one can deny that certain natural displays...which are non-linear and have chaos are hypnotic...vis...Fire/waves/clouds. Why ?? What are the underling physiological drivers ?? What in the evolution of the human brain has left such deep and imprinted response ?? What has delivered this " Brain engrained " condition ?????
    .
    Hmmm.. beats me....but I believe it is there !!! And it is this mechanism which delivers the hypnotic/ mesmerize response to viewing Lumia.
    Maybe....just maybe...it is this mechanism which is fundamental to the almost universal response to anyone viewing a Laser display in general.
    .
    Now....this line of thinking leads me further "down the rabbit hole"... Fireworks were invented by the Chinese in the 7th century.....SO....for 14 centuries....humans have been engaged in this form of Art. 14 centuries...and it is still around...and enjoyed around the world !!! Are not our displays...Beam or Graphic a form of "Photonic Fireworks" ???? Well sure they are...IMNSHO !! And then....what is it about fireworks...that is so universally appealing ??? Perhaps the same deep rooted human response as is involved with observing Fire/waves/clouds ????
    .
    Just some thoughts !!! Regardless....I have decided to focus the majority of my efforts to produce Coherent displays within the field of Lumia Art. Who knows....may even do something...that has not been done B4....albeit unlikely...it is possible. Thanx again for your alignment and understanding my speculations !

    Raght Awn!

    Good thoughts re engrained physiological fire responses.
