The 6B had two image busses so it could do variations of one or two images on four scanners in rygb. (Yes the projector technology evolved over time - unfortunately I haven't seen any hint that the underlying philosophical concept of what we were trying to do evolved with the technology. Technology is cool, it fun to come up with new stuff. Integrating the new stuff with the old stuff might best be done by completely changing the paradigm - that didn't happen. Mostly the new stuff was just wired in wherever.) Laserium began before before it was economically possible to automate an entire show, and we embraced the live aspect. It set us apart to the point that some people who did canned shows claimed they were live. One problem with highly choreographed automated shows using representational vector art is it really doesn't leave anything for the laserist to do except screw up the vector art story line. I'm not saying someone could never do a great "highly choreographed automated show using representational vector art", but I (being the ancient curmudgeon I've become) don't think that show should be called Laserium.
Orson Wells once said the lack of constraints is the death of art.
"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun." Pablo Picasso
