Whistler Live! GOBOS (Goes Before Optics)

One of my pieces (Twirlingsky) will be projected onto the snow on Whistler mountaint during the Fire and Ice Shows during the 2010 Olympic games.

From the Pique News Magazine....

"GOBOS (Goes Before Optics) is probably the most cutting-edge visual concept included in the Whistler Live! lineup. Pieces by Nathan French, Lani Imre, Vanessa Stark, Laurel Terlesky and Chili Thom have been juried into this part of the of the show, to be projected onto the surface of the snow almost like a massive stained glass window.

"We have taken pieces of artists' work that have already been created - we didn't commission anything new - and we have gotten their artwork sketched into glass," Richmond explained. "These glass discs will be put over top of stage lighting during the (nightly) Fire & Ice Remix. The light will project the image onto the snow, so it will be this huge piece of artwork moving all across the snowbase during the Fire & Ice. It'll be really cool!""
