In this page you should be able to see photos of performances, events, experiments, etc. Unfortunately, for reasons still unknown, it is not possible to upload more photos. Maybe later. In the meantime, this page is mostly words.

This is kind of a spin-off thing.
The beautiful live images were often
too beautiful to exist for such a short
time.
They were clamoring to be photographed.
Too beautiful not to be shown.

On the wall hangs this photo that 
represents 1/125 second of the life of
a liquid slide.
