PakaPaka Lightshow

Hire me2 Projects
Near the turn of the last century, video manipulation and montage in real time became possible on a desktop
computer,
opening up a new world of expression. PakaPaka Lightshow was founded by Jerome Fortier, Reuben Fortier, and
Dale
Kaminski, a trio of artists devoted to exploring this new media. Jerome and Dale saw that their decades of
experience in
creating analog psychedelic lightshows could be leveraged with digital computers rather than overhead, aldis,
slide, and
16mm projectors. PakaPaka Lightshow congealed organically through contemplation on how to provide visuals
for an
"historical cabaret" theatrical piece about the culture and happenings of 1968. This unique event led to the
opening of
many strange and exciting paths and PakaPaka continues to wander them. With every performance, PakaPaka
provides a
new stream of optical amusements, empathically bonded to the vibration of the moment.
