My Cousin met me last night so we could enjoy Illuminate's 7x7 laser light installation at Civic Center Plaza. It is installed just across the street from their Fulton Plaza SPECTRA Light Installation project created by Joshua Hubert which is also a delight (and which moves through patterned sequences that are soothing to enjoy).
It was a warm-ish night; there was a talented DJ playing music within the sculpture; there was a person with a tall ladder and a bubble gun to create patterns in the lasers that were similar to fish shining in streams of sunlight. It was DELIGHTFUL.
It wasn't truly dark until after 9:30! I brought my full-sized tripod and several packages of Instax Wide, and made numerous guestimates of how long my exposures should take. The best results came from around four seconds - LASERS ARE BRIGHT! - and my long and short exposures of City Hall all came out the similar from three to six seconds.
Another delightful evening with my Cousin and SF's Art!
