  LightTroupe has been active on many fronts !

  In May, we finished production of Evilish, a digital puppet play written, directed, hand-drawn, Luz-animated, and performed by young people at The Roost.

  Soon after, we took part in WebVisions 2011, creating the LightLounge where attendees could relax and interact with live visual fun.

  Meanwhile, our happy hackers have been developing all-new live digital drawing techniques, and sneak peaks have been seen in capable hands at tens of locations around Portland thus far. (Join LightTroupe on Facebook to see some of the results.)

  Until next time... work hard! play light!

• OMSI and The Roost

  This year we've found opportunities for involvement all around Portland. We've teamed up with CampFire USA and the folks at The Roost to share with the kids there the creative world of live motion graphics, multi-player digital drawing on projectors, and our custom open-source software that drives the show, Luz Studio.

  We've upgraded our visual presentation through advancements in software and the aquisition of the first LuzBox, dedicated lightning-fast hardware to run the show. (Now our laptops can have the night off.)

  On January 26th we will be presenting interactive digital light creations at OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry ($10, 6-10pm, 21+).

LightTroupe combines projection and live DMX control for room-filling interactive light.

Here a gaming joystick controls the overhead lighting, and you are always invited to play!

On the left wall we projected a behind-the-scenes look at the live music spectrum analysis, whose signal was at times used to drive the house lights:
