This is as real time as light painting can get.

Series of 8 mechanised systems, carbon, steel banding, LED’s

Thixotropes # 1, # 2, # 5 and # 6: 1.20 m (DIA) x 2.20 m (H)
Thixotropes # 3, # 4, # 7 and # 8: 1.75 m (DIA) x 1.75 m (H)

‘Thixotropes’ is comprised of a series of eight illuminated mechanised structures, each of them shaped as a composition of intersecting angular and geometric forms that are made of thin tensed steel banding lined with rows of LED’s.

The constructions continuously revolve around their own axis thereby materialising the path of the light and dissolving the spinning structures into compositions of aerial cones, spheres and ribbons of warm and cold light while giving life and shape to an immaterial construct.

‘Thixotropes’ was commissioned by Selfridges London.
October 2011 – January 2012, and was nominated for the Designs of the Year award by the Design Museum London in February 2012.

The light painting dynamic duo of Ryan Warnberg and Michelle McSwain better know as MRI have created the radical LIGHT BOMBER! Its the first light painting app. created by light painters for light painters. This little jammy is pretty sick. You can tell it was built by someone who actually light paints with a bunch of practical features. It will take your iphone or ipad and turn it into a good time, if you get my drift…. Want to try it out? MRI was cool enough to give the first 10 people that emailed the LPP site with “Gimme that free F@#*ing code for that Light Bomber thing” in the subject line of the email but SORRY KIDS YOUR TOO LATE THE CODES ARE ALL GONE…..If you were too slow to get the free code click HERE to get it for yourself from the apple store, its only a buck…

Here are a few samples of what Light Bomber can do…

If you like it be sure to leave some good words in the comments section of the application store so other light painters will know how wonderful it is…

 

I would like to official welcome light painting photographer Michael Ross, a.k.a. TxPilot to the light painting photography bright talent family of artist. Check out some of his full light painting photography profile HERE.

 

Fabrice Wittner has done it again. What is it, well it is… he created some effing amazing and moving light painting works of art. Back in 2011 Fabrice created his first light stencil work in New Zealand as a tribute to the souls lost in the Christchurch earthquake. This time he took his life size stencils to Hanoi. Fabrice says this of the project…

“Following the first opus of Enlightened Souls in Christchurch, I went to cut my stencils out in Hanoi, Vietnam. I didn’t expected to work on a second series of characters during my journey in Hanoi, but my schedule went lighter than I thought and I needed to find an occupation.”

“September was dedicated to a simple trip across Vietnam, as a standard tourist. In Sapa – one of the hot spot for tourism in North Vietnam – I realized vietnamese city-dweller tourists were a bit sniffy and picky with the local people from the mountains. Tourism doesn’t always wear the happy face of a brochure but as tourist myself, I couldn’t criticize too hard…
Anyway, this is how the enlightened idea occurred for the second time. Back in the capital I had two more month to prepare my material. Like a little joke, I thought it could be funny to let some country-side kids wandering in the streets of Hanoi, like country mice visiting their town mouse cousins.”
