This week we researched different practitioners of 60's projected liquid lightshows before doing our own:
and of course Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable, with The Velvet Underground and Nico--

We also watched M.Henry Jone at work restaging Harry Smith's expanded Heaven and Earth Magic at Anthology Film Archives a few years back

Ultimately we created our very own in-class live improvised light show utilizing  overhead prjectors, slide projectors, 16mm projectors, various prism and mirrors, gels and oil, alcohol and dyes, and alternated soundtracks between Terry Riley's compositions  PoppyNOGood and In C.  Play while you look at the blog!

  1. I'm sure some of you have seen this, but Marilyn Minter does some pretty stellar liquid video art. Super sexual...Meow!

  2. The pictures of the event even turn out really cool. Possibly an idea to use those on slides or on the projectors for our next event to add more colors.
