Subtitle: 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!" 006-DSC_4473-header: Cicadas: Brood II 006-DSC_4473-headertext: Technically this 000-DSC_8539: 3 people in the middle of the pattern. Notice the grid pattern by their feet as well. 001-DSC_8540: Exploring the space...you can see the silhouette of one person's arm in front of the beams. 002-DSC_8542: A neat pattern. 003-DSC_8543: These were serious-looking lasers. 004-DSC_8547: A laser-show-looking pattern. 005-DSC_8549: One false move and ... (it looks quite painful, but isn't). 006-DSC_8550: "Hey...why is there that red dot right on my ugggkkk****" 007-DSC_8551: At times when they were walking through the laser field, the bright dots on them looked like a sort of crown. By the time I took this picture, it was now shoulder height. 008-DSC_8552: A picture just above the plane of crossing. 009-DSC_8553: Looking towards, though not directly at, the laser sources. 010-DSC_8555: Another picture looking towards the sources. 011-DSC_8561: You can hide, but you can't run. 012-DSC_8562: More laser art. 013-DSC_8563: Another shot of the crossing plane. I like this one. 014-DSC_8564: Lasers, lasers, and more lasers. 015-DSC_8565: Above and below. 016-DSC_8566: zzzztttt! 017-DSC_8571: I asked someone to take a picture of me. My head was just above the grid, with a few hitting my face. I'm wearing a ski cap (on yeah, it snowed today and was damn cold out, woo hoo). It was hard to explain the shot I wanted and how my camera worked. So this was as close as we got. 018-DSC_8572: More art. 019-DSC_8575: The guy who took the picture was trying to be a Beautiful International Jewel Thief, and get below the grid. His friend's feet are next to him. 020-DSC_8576: Yet another pattern. 021-DSC_8577: One of first rules in the Beautiful International Jewel Thief handbook is that if you're in a room field with lasers and are below the grid, don't sit up! Sorry, game over...
