Synopsis

Projects (by concert tour) are shown with multiple photographs in grids to aptly display the lighting design, along with some technical illustrations. With an introduction by Radiohead singer Thom Yorke, this book will include essays by Chris Scoates, Director, University Art museum, California State University, Long Beach, British media theorist Dick Hebdige (Subculture: The Meaning of Style,1979, Cut'n'Mix, 1987, Hiding in the Light, 1988); and historian J. Fiona Ragheb*, (Dan Flavin: The Architecture of Light, 2000 and Frank Gehry, Architect, 2003) along with in-depth interviews with Watson and his collaborators.

About the Author

A native of England, Chris Scoates is a curator whose interests encompass contemporary art, media art and technology, and music, as well as their relationship to contemporary culture. He is currently organizing a series of art and technology exhibitions, which offer an unprecedented investigation of digital media's impact on contemporary art and visual culture. These projects include Sound Oasis, an outdoor three-dimensional audio environment with twelve sound artists; TAMPER: A Gestural Interface for Cinematic Design, a participatory work that fused cutting-edge technology with the practice of film design; and Brian Eno: 77 Million Paintings, an installation of constantly changing images and musical compositions which challenged the presumptive authorial control of the artist.
