Break time between shows consists of me not wearing shoes and drinking sweet tea.

Went to the Schenely Park really late yesterday and enjoyed the subtleties of street lamp lighting with my Polish perogie - whom I absolutely adore. Few things are as wonderful as laying in the grass with your favorite person on top of a hill and seeing the city at your feet.

Barefoot is best in front of a console.

Say hello to ETC’s Eos Ti (which cleverly stands for Titanium).

The Ti comes with the new Eos 2.0 software which introduces magic sheets and some changes to the original RDM functions. For those of you unfamiliar with RDM (Remote Device Management), I’ll be posting a brief explanation of it shortly.

The language continues to be command-line based and is very similar to the language of an Obsession. Having an Obsession II in house where I work is an advantage in this.

Two multitouch screens as well as a dedicated multitouch screen for encoders makes this console highly user friendly and definable. You’ve basically got two big iPad screens in front of you to work with which not only allows you to work and view things quickly but also makes important data about fixtures or channels readily avilable. ETC also carried over the idea of backlit keys from the Gio to the Ti.

Below are some highlights from the Ti’s features:

• 10,000 channels
• 10 definable motorized faders with 30 pages of control
• 20 user-definable buttons
• 999 cue lists (no, not 1,000)
• 200 active playbacks
• 300 submasters
• Two 17” multitouch displays with support for 3 external monitors
• A whole bunch of other cool shit

Essentially, I want one. Except not in the gray…that’s just ugly. Forever black consoles.

You can view ETC’s video introducing the Ti and the 2.0 software here.

Sometimes I write really long articles on lighting equipment that I really really want.

This is an ordinary house plant that works as a lamp by touch. Touch the plant and the lamp turns on, and its light can even be dimmed or the color of it changed by touching particular areas of the plant, which rests in a glass vase atop a milled aluminum case with embedded LED lights which are controlled by a separate and hidden microcontroller.

The Brecce Collection of lamps by designer Marco Stefanelli repurposes sawmill scraps by embedding them with LED lights encased in resin.

What.

Death stairs.
