Houston,Texas, USA - 1999
I was invited to participate at the largest multimedia show and the first American Millennium project in Houston, Texas. Sky Power '99 involves lasers, sky lights, pyrotechnics and large scale projections on buildings all over downtown Houston. It will create a 360 degree stage some two miles around and 2400 feet high. I am creating the kinetic images for the spectacle climax centering on NASA's triumphs in space exploration.

It took 190 trips with three helicopters to remove the projectors,spent fireworks, lighting, lasers.

The equipment was flown from the rooftops to the "Boneyard" where forklifts took the equipment into a warehouse.
