A project that was actually finished back in the mid-1990's is getting some press in the last few days. Lucy and Jorge Orta of Studio Orta took some very long-throw follow spots up into the Andes Mountains and projected templates onto the huge range, including some of Machu Picchu.Studio Orta's project, entitled "Imprints on the Andes", is being displayed (in historical media, of course) at an exibition in Paris called Uninhabitable? Art of Extreme Environments.You have to see these images - something that is so simple in principle certainly made some beautiful imagery. I've been racking the Google trying to ... Read More»

I have a tendency to like textured light; light on its own is filtered through clouds, trees, window dressings - and it creates its own natural "texture" for us to enjoy. I love templates (or gobos, as they're affectionately called) of texture, and they make a nice natural break to the line of a wall or surface. Love 'em.A company called Sha-Do released a few series of lamps that really play on this concept - a projector of sorts, these fixtures cast a great textured template on the surface on which it's mounted. Sha-Do has designed a lot of really ... Read More»
The Gobo Visualizer
I just discovered an AWESOME tool at Cablepick.com - the Gobo Visualizer.The Gobo Visualizer allows you to simulate a dual-gobo rotator with a static gobo behind, and either a solid sheet of color, no color, or split color. Speeds are adjustable in either direction, from 0 to 30 RPM, and has gobos from Apollo, Rosco, GAM, Goboman, and Goboland. You can also alter the projected focus of the gobo pair. This is a great tool! I hope it lasts!Sometimes you can surprise yourself with two gobos that look like they do not belong rotating together. For example, try Goboland #2100000 ... Read More»
