Video Journey to the Center of the Milky Way

Actual Video Journey to the Center of our Galaxy


This video shows an actual infrared video journey to Sagittarius, the center of our galaxy "the Milky Way" (Via Lactica, latin.) 

Filmed using an old Sony digital video camera with "super night shot" mode, that uses available infrared waves. I focused on Sagittarius which according to the webster dictionary points the way to the center of our galaxy. The hub of the spiral, I used the zoom function to travel thousands of light years into the very heart of the constellation.

3D light Sculpture featured at Austin New Year's Eve Celebration 2012


A 20 ft 3d Light Sculpture was one of several featured attractions at the 2012 New Year's Eve Celebrations in Downtown Austin. Attended by over 25,000 visitors, the light sculpture was a favorite with anyone with a smart phone. Every one enjoyed shooting video of the fast moving interactive display. The display responded to the music of the bands appearing on the near by stage  from provided by The Austin Parks & Recreation Department and their History, Art & Nature Division. The family-friendly, alcohol-free event was a perfect venue for this type of installation. Young children especially liked the kinetic, rhythmic, ever changing colorful light display.
