Shemakhinskaya Bayaderka Festival / Yana Kremneva / 2016
Actually, I was going to put this under the "What we did before lasers" thread, but found this title to be more accurate and it's more considerate to hijack my own thread.
As other abstract laserists have mentioned, the goal is often to emulate the rhythmic motions of dance.
Make note at how you find yourself becoming emotionally attached to the dancer's character, not that it has anything to do with her being an attractive woman, of course.🙄 Laser abstracts are visually appealing as well, aren't they? But, there's time to become acquainted, because you're focused upon a single entity throughout the entire sequence, instead of being bombarded by strangers.
We become fascinated by her uniquely strange, but precise rhythmic movements, instead of the status quo. From that point on, the eyes are trapped and the mind wants to see what the dancer does next.
IMHO, this is the essence of 'visual music' at its finest. If I could achieve this level of interpretation within my cycloids, I'd be a very happy laserist.
Enjoy
