We just returned from an amazing event in Leeds; it was the biggest installation of Laser Light City so far and an estimated 60,000 people enjoyed the installation across the 4 day event. With 7 separate sites, 25 powerful lasers, 15 crew on our side (and many more on the council’s) this was the biggest […]
The first Laser Light City test event in Brighton on the 1st of October is complete! It worked really well and we had over 5,000 people registered on the Facebook event. We installed 9 powerful lasers in 3 separate sites across the city, and we had reports of sightings as far as Haywards Heath! It […]
Over the summer I’ve been working on a new project that is designed to work even in full lock-down. The idea is that you can use your phone to control massive sky lasers mounted onto tall buildings across the city. I was thinking about the Light Festivals and the work we usually do there… but […]
Anyone that knows me, knows that it’s my long-term goal to replace fireworks. (There are so many reasons that they’re problematic, but let’s save that for another post!) I’ve been making interactive digital fireworks since 2007, but it didn’t really get serious until I launched PixelPyros in 2012. The project has since travelled far and […]
The latest incarnation of my Laser Light Synths project was installed in February at Middlesbrough Town Hall, and of course this time we added more lasers than ever before! The original version of this project (in 2014 believe it or not) had a single powerful laser to project graphics behind each custom-built synthesiser. But this […]
After 5 years of working with lasers, it seems that I have now been accepted by the wider laserist community! The International Laser Display Association (ILDA) have honoured me in their awards ceremony in Montreal, as part of their annual conference. My awards are in their Innovative and Art category, second prize for Lightning Catchers […]
Now that the Margate Games residency is over it’s time to take stock and document the project. Lazer Arcade draft edit from Seb Lee-Delisle on Vimeo. To my great relief the system worked really well and Lazer Arcade proved to be a huge hit – there were constant queues throughout the GEEK festival. So what […]
It’s been an intense week of troubleshooting calibration – but I finally got it working today! It’s still a bit fragile so I’m not sure how well it’ll hold up over the festival but fingers crossed. There have been so many things to fix – just one was the vibrations from the floor so I […]
Today was my first day on site in Margate and setting up the LazerArcade system at full size. I’ve had a tiring day trying to calibrate and I can’t seem to get it quite as accurate as it was at home. And the microphones pick up all the vibrations on the floor so I can […]
Yesterday I was researching on Brighton Pier to see if there were any shooting / throwing games that I could steal, or in art-speak, “draw inspiration from” for my LazerArcade project. It’s always interesting the current crop of characters from popular culture converted into plush toys. Last year it was Angry Birds, the year before […]
