Come check out the Spotlesslight this Saturday evening at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in Brooklyn, NY.

As part of the Museum of Art's First Saturday Series, Frank Oteri from the American Music Center and VJ Benton-C Bainbridge will host a multimedia presentation on prolific Hungarian-American composer Gabriel von Wayditch (1888–1969), including the New York premiere of passages from his lush operatic works, video projections, and excerpts from a documentary about the composer.

As part of the performance art piece, VJ Benton-C Bainbridge will light up the performance using the Spotlesslight. Bainbridge will make use of one of the Spotlesslight's new effects that we call the automatic digital follow-spot. The name pretty much says it all. Just point the Spotlesslight in the general direction of your subject and it will automatically create a digital spotlight which will follow its subject. The Spotlesslight uses a unique system that allows it to interact with objects and performers on the stage. In this case, the spotlesslight will read the movements of the performer and then digitally create a spotlight effect which will be fed to the projector and projected back onto the performer. The spotlesslight takes interactive projection to new heights allowing for Lighting Designers to have a maximum amount of freedom and flexibility.
