The Cosmic Laser Concert
A
show of much color, lights and cosmic images
by Lindoberto Silva
From today
to the 18th, the Goianian public will have the opportunity
to assist at the UFG (Federal University of Goiãnia) Planetarium,
to a show of light, colors and rare visual beauty ever presented
in this city. It is the Cosmic Laser Concert, that, as the
name says, is a show that mixes music and cosmic images
using a laser ray equipment. According to the producer,
Lucila Oliveira, the show is produced starting from an unique
laser beam, which has, approximately, the density of a hair.
It is through an optic and electronic complex device that
the laser beam produces images of three-dimensional figures
which dance and move according to the music that is being
played. The sound track for the show is selected according
to the public's taste at each city, and ranges from rock
to classic music.
ART
AND ELECTRONICS
Lasting
from 40 to 50 minutes, the visual show requires the utilization
of an imported equipment weighting about 900 kilos, and
worth 200 thousand dollars. Even though all this modern
paraphernalia is responsible for the creation of the images
and colors, the show is not only technique. As clarified
by Soraya Bittencourt who operates the Laser Image Equipment,
of North-American origin, no computer is used in the show,
and there is a perfect interaction between art and electronics.
According to her, the images are created according to the
reception of the public.. "The most interesting is that
children, being less inhibited than adults, participate
more. According to their reactions, random figures are
projected and, once they are three-dimensional, enable each
person a different view, depending on where the person is
sitting."
New
in town, the Cosmic Laser Concert can be seen on the following
days and schedules: today sessions are at 10, 11, 18 and
21 hours; tomorrow and the day after, at 20 and 21 hours,
on the 11th, at 10, 11, 18, 20 and 21 hours. The last sessions
will take place next week from 15th to 18th, following,
respectively, the above mentioned schedules.
Even though
Muritama Park is closed today due to the National Holliday,
a side gate (between Independencia and Contorno Avenues )
will give access to the Planetarium. Prices are Cr$1,000
for students and children up to 12; Cr$1,500 for the remaining
