This category is for novel or unusual laser applications that do not fit into any other category. Winners in the past have included Theo Dari’s “Laserman” magic act, an underwater laser show viewed from a glass-bottom boat, a raster-only show, and an interactive laser character that talks to passersby.

The public took part by wearing a headset that transmitted brain activity into spontaneously choreographed digital artwork on an architectural scale, creating your own visual soundscape.

Everyone was welcome to watch or take part in the stunning interactive light show. In a dark space, participants were fitted with an EEG head-set that monitors the electrical activity of their brain wavelengths. Data was then used to control the laser and sound composition; allowing thought patterns to directly modulate the physical light surrounding them.

The aim was to reach a focused ‘state of mind’, that can only be achieved through their ability to ‘let go’. The installation highlighted participants’ minds as tangible objects and generated a unique ‘brain signature’ for each user.
