I got invited to an amazing party on Monday night. A "local Dallas PGA golf celebrity" who shall remain nameless, Rick Hutton from InLight Gobos, and a bunch of awesome techs from Absolute Lighting in Dallas and I hung out until the wee hours of the morning, partying and hobnobbing with some really excellent people. An amazing time was had by all.I met so many people. I saw so much mind-blowing party lighting. I rubbed elbows with really awesome men and women, and just had myself an excellent experience. I will say this - when InLight Gobos is involved with ... Read More»

I was chilling with my wife and Josh Benton (you know, the guy who runs the Nieman Journalism Lab at Harvard) during the "Fray Cafe" event at the Red Eyed Fly at SXSW last weekend. In comes Adam DeWitt (@xedmada) to have a beer because I posted my status on GoWalla, and all of the sudden I was on the way over to the Pure Volume venue in Austin to meet up with Craig Burross from High End Systems.That's like a freaking lighting nerd's dream. So, I walk into Pure Volume with Adam, and there is truss everywhere. The venue ... Read More»

LET THE PICTURES BEGIN!I loved posting last year's LDI pics of the booths I photographed. It was like giving the people who couldn't go a chance to see what it was all about!Every LDI, I am always amazed by the sheer magnitude of Chauvet Lighting's booth. It's always massive, it's always a sunburst of color, and you can usually see it from just about anywhere in the convention center. I also got to meet Navah, the girl behind @chauvetlighting on Twitter. Great to meet you finally!Check out this booth!

Have you ever heard of Blackstone Audio? JimOnLight reader Joey van der Berg just sent me a link to a really retro-excellent video from the early days of High End Systems and their rental stock of lighting - when it was Lowell Fowler's first company, Blackstone Audio. The video is below.Lowell's bio (founder of High End) on the High End website gives a little history: along with wife Sue, he founded Blackstone Audio Visual, a production company marketing to touring groups and special events. In 1986, along with partner Belliveau, High End Systems began wholesaling lighting products to the entertainment ... Read More»
Brazil’s VJ Zaniz – Production Reel
I've been finding a lot of interesting digital visuals lately, as I have a weird architectural lighting project in my head. One of the artists I've come across lately is Brazil's VJ Zaniz - his work has a very interesting quality - sometimes it feels very Cubist to me, other times slightly impressionist.Here's a video reel:Thanks, VJ.TV!

I read about some of the PC lighting control company Enttec's wares tonight - considering I am saving up to buy the Hog 3 PC programming and playback interfaces for use with my WYSIWYG suite (I have a loooong way to go...), these units look pretty cool. Provided, that is, they would work with the Hog 3 PC software, and connected to my WYSIWYG suite. Enttec has a programming wing, a playback wing, and a shortcut wing that, hooked together, could make a pretty sweet interface. Enttec's software, LightFactory, is what the units are geared for - but they claim ... Read More»
The Conga Room – Belzberg Architects’ Wonderment

LA's Conga Room is something that Belzberg Architects can truly say they are proud to have designed - this club is an aesthetic piece of wonderment. The upstairs of the club appears to have started to vortex itself into the lower floor in a beautiful sloping tornado of light and angular context - this is no design for the modest. A true collaboration of composition, line, and color.I much appreciate how many surfaces the light in the room has to play - the whole venue is like the edges of a prism in the sun.
