An Art Exhibit with Lasers!

I went to the Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell today, Sunday April 3rd, 2016, mainly to see Matthew Schreiber: Crossbow, an installation in a small room that consists of a series of red lasers forming neat patterns. You walk through the space, occasionally getting blinded by the lasers. It's quite neat. Felt like something from either Tron or some movie about a jewel heist. I took some pictures while in the room, sometimes by myself, sometimes with others there. I think 3 different people asked if I could take a picture of them with their camera. They have a little fog in there to make the beams visible.

I also recorded a 1 minute video while in the room here. If you listen carefully, when the camera gets zapped by a laser, you can hear me say, "cool!"
