Heliotrope IA

Guess this week’s work ceiling.

Behind the scenes for the installation in progress in paris.

The San Joaquin.
Fresno x Madera.
A river not reaching the sea.

After Joseoh Rio’s, Shadowboxing:
“…
Don’t leave, Doña.
Your fingers.
You’re still
kicking,
You’re still
pushing, gliding.
Your fingers
gently brush
the repeating
yellow lines
in the road: gone.”

City of Fog. Pt Richmond hill toward Golden Gate.

Prototype boards for Heliotrope’s collaboration with NAKA dance theater for the Fugivity project arrived today. Wireless osc and artnet controlled rgbw lights on stage this fall.

Quiet moments of the modern car.

A late model congregation and their morning obeisance to Inti, Luz, Lugh, Helios, Huitzilopochtli, and Yhi.

Fog-set,
Golden gate.

In the studio researching hyper spectral light reproduction for the Domestic Light project. Stay tuned.

A solstice melt.
Longest day
ice, a fading stain.

The music has started,
Place your bets.
Clowns, pasteup cars revving fast,
Horses champing, ready to run.
Flat earth vs sphere, Mobius space.
Plastic ponies, Euler-ranked,

nose to tail, til all is won.

Whether on the shores of Asia, or in the Edgware Road.

The recurrent image into pre-conscious terrors—
To explore the womb, or tomb, or dreams; all these are usual
Pastimes and drugs, and features of the press:
And always will be, some of them especially
When there is distress of nations and perplexity

Describe the horoscope, haruspicate or scry,
Observe disease in signatures, evoke
Biography from the wrinkles of the palm
And tragedy from fingers; release omens
By sortilege, or tea leaves, riddle the inevitable
With playing cards, fiddle with pentagrams
Or barbituric acids, or dissect

At the hem of the sea, sea lace and sand waiting for its salvages.

A complicated bits of words for complicated times: From Eliott’s Dry Salvages,

To communicate with Mars, converse with spirits,
To report the behaviour of the sea monster,

Exiting the subterranean. The City tree. Roots to the sky.

A new OSC based tool coming for light and sound performance, and with a side helping hyperspectral imaging to play back the Domestic Light project’s hyper spectral data set.

The Domestic Light multispectral LED fixture at first prototype. 10 discrete spectral color channels, more than 100% of human visual spectrum.

Between soil and sky. Branch, root and crown.
