Being at the Desert Botanical Garden so early and on such an overcast day, gave me the opportunity to enjoy the latest art exhibit going on at the garden. It's called "Framerate: Desert Pulse" and it is a multi-sensory art exhibit using images scanned using LiDar technology to capture 3D images. It was put together by ScanLAB Projects, an artistic and scientific team pioneering the artistry of 3D imaging. Cameras were set in place for long periods of time to capture growth and activities. Many of the cameras were set up at the garden. In fact, I saw at least one of them and wondered what it was all about. There were digital screens set up in several places in the garden showing short 3 to 6 minute segments of the images.
The longest segment of images was in the exhibit hall where there were 14 large screens around the hall all showing different view points of the subject being scanned.
The videos in the exhibit hall cycle through a 24 minute loop. I thought when I entered that I'd watch a few minutes and then leave and come back another time.
That didn't happen. I stayed through the entire loop and I'm sure I'll go back again. It was mesmerizing.
My photos here only show some of the desert blooms scenes. There were construction sites, farming land and rain and water flows also. It was all enhanced by original music for each different scene.
I loved it!

We have a new video screen in the community center, waiting for electronic art.
The images look beautiful, Sharon.
I have no idea what LiDAR technology is, but the resulting artworks look interesting and beautiful!
Amazing images, they really stand out.
There are times when I curse technology but not this time. Such beautiful art creations!
