The Joshua Light Show

At the Summer of Love Exhibit, currently at the Whitney, there are a number of photos of the Joshua Light Show - the liquid-light pioneers that regularly ran visuals for acts like Jimi Hendrix at the Fillmore. Two pictures in particular, showing the group with all their gear at work, really scratched my geeky how-it-works itch. Yesterday, I interrogated my dad about his liquid light show, stole a few tricks from him, and then started looking up the Joshua Light Show to see what they're up to today. Lo and behold, they still exist, have learned some nifty new tricks, and opened the damn Summer of Love Exhibit. Which I was invited to and missed. Clearly these people must be my friends.
