Picture Lighting
Commercial grade, custom equipment is a must to protect artwork whose value continues to skyrocket annually. Truly safe and effective picture lighting requires a higher level of commercial grade technology than standard over the picture frame mounts can deliver. It also requires a means of shielding sensitive canvas, oils, and paints from ultraviolet light and infrared light that can degrade the quality of a painting-and eventually destroy it over time. Serious art collectors in both private and professional arenas already know this and tend to favor Art Projectors for picture lighting as the safest, most optimal source of illumination for valuable paintings and rare documents. Art projectors offer the advantages of UV and infrared shielding and do not mount to the frame. This is crucial to museum aesthetic, where classics look much better when there is nothing over the painting to distract the viewer’s eye. However, typical art projectors can be very bulky, hard to adjust, and cause severe damage to ceilings even when installed by professionals. It is also very hard to adjust lighting levels in some projectors, making it difficult to match lighting intensity precisely to color and form. Some projectors also produce a beam that is visible to people standing to the side of the room. This does not look good in a refined setting and therefore offers serious drawbacks that disqualify such a device as an ideal source of picture lighting.
Picture Lighting with Incandescent and Halogen Sources Can also be Hazardous to Fine Art. Infrared heat caused by incandescent and a halogen lighting in standard picture lighting fixtures is also a cause for concern. Heat caused by these lamps will dry out oils over time and lead to cracks in the paint. Museums still using incandescent picture frame lighting have to install special motion sensors to turn the lights on when visitors enter the room and switch them off again when they leave. This is too much hassle for the private collector, and it is also more expensive. A superior level of light is needed, along with a completely heatless source of illumination, is required to produce picture lighting that is optically clear and simultaneously perfectly safe for the artwork itself.
Lighting intensity itself also affects picture quality over time. Lumens per annum, a term that refers to the cumulative intensity of light over long periods of exposure can have deleterious effects on colors, canvases or any artwork. Setting precise levels of illumination intensity safeguards the preservation of pictures, paintings, and rare documents framed in museums. This is difficult to do with accent lighting equipment that offers only two or three settings and little, if any, room for custom adjustment to the piece.
Phantom Provides Multiple Solutions in Six Streamlined, Proprietary Art Projector Designs. To resolve all of these problems, Phantom Lighting took projector technology to a whole new level by introducing the Phantom Contour Projector. Our foremost consideration in this new design was better protection for priceless works of art. While most art projectors carry some form of UV shielding, we have developed fixtures and lenses that negate its power altogether. As artwork lighting experts we have accomplished this without diminishing the ability to fine tune the projector for optimal picture lighting angles and levels.
The name Phantom Contour itself refers to one of the most unique attributes of our art projectors-the ability to shape illumination to the exact dimensions of a picture. Phantom optical design offers the highest level of photometric sophistication currently possible. They can be fine tuned with such precision as to actually hide the beam of light itself regardless of viewing angle. This creates a “lighting from within” effect when the beam strikes the picture and frame. This light is further filtered through custom cut templates or pattern gobos that prevents it from “spilling” over the wall around a painting and thus eliminates resulting shadows behind the frame.
Unobtrusive Physicality and “Ceiling Friendly” Installation make the Contour Projector the Interior Designer’s Best Friend. These models mount in the ceiling with a minimum of cutting and are much smaller than typical art projectors. We even have one Contour projector series that is designed for remodel projects where cutting the ceiling is not an option.
What is the motion of the moon?
I need to know the position of the moon in the sky (from the ground) over the course of a month. Needs to look like the same position on Earth but over a month. I would think it would look like the moon moving from one side of the paper to the other. Like an arch or something. Please help me find a picture of this. Thanks
The Battle of the Sexes Heats Up in Circular Motion
All’s fair in love and war in a new book that fires up the battle between the sexes.
Men, do you think you understand the feminine psyche? The rivalry between women and men seems to be eternal. We all tend to imagine for a moment that one of these days a winner will be declared, and the discussion will be finally over. But of course we know that each generation will take this debate to a new level.
dash Media Networks recently announced the release of Circular Motion, a book of four short plays, a one act play and a screenplay. The book by first time author David Ashe highlights struggles of culture and gender. The one act play that the book Circular Motion is titled after was first performed at a reading at the Moving Arts Theatre in Silverlake, CA.
Circular Motion is a collection of scenes, plays and a screenplay. It’s a book that takes a slice of life look at some little and sometimes not so little conflicts of sex, power and culture that go on every day. Conflicts that everyone sees and experiences but aren’t exposed or discussed. It’s a delectable clash of class and gender. A timeless battle of the sexes with a mix of influence, ambition and desire.
When asked what he wanted readers to take away from Circular Motion, the books’ author David Ashe noted, “First I would, of course, want to people to be entertained, but more than that, if people really looked at the interactions they have with others and experienced them in a way that increase the level of civility and humanity that would be ideal. If nothing else, I would hope to move a reader to think more deeply about experiences they can relate to in the book. I also wanted to explore the dynamics of women’s interpersonal relationships and the struggle involved with creating and maintaining those relationships, both with men and with other women.”
Below is an interview with the author done for the book’s website at www.circularmotion.net.
Q: What is “Circular Motion” about?
A: Circular Motion is a collection of scenes, plays and a screenplay that I wrote over the course of a few years during the early and mid ninities. At that time I believed that I was better able to express myself creatively through the written word.
Q: How did you start writing?
A: I started my career at Orion Pictures at an entry level position and I had the opportunity to read a number of scripts that passed through the studio for consideration. This was during the period when Orion produced films like Dances With Wolves and a number of other hit movies, so the atmosphere there was very optimistic and creative. As I read some of the screenplays, most of which were pretty bad, I naturally assumed I could come up with something better. Of course after further investigation I realized there was a real art to writing for the screen and that there were other, possibly better ways of communicating ideas to an audience. A friend of mine at work read some of my scenes and encouraged me to take a play writing workshop, and I began to look at writing from a different perspective.
Q: Where did you get the idea for “Circular Motion”? How did you come with the characters in Circular Motion?
A: Some of the material is topical from that time period, and some are based on situations I’ve read about or witnessed first hand. Once the characters begin to speak they really take on a life of their own and there’s a flow that occurs.
Q: What kind of a book is “Circular Motion”?
A: It’s a book that takes a slice of life look at some little and sometimes not so little clashes of sex, power and culture that go on every day that everyone sees and experiences but doesn’t get discussed in any intelligent way in larger media arenas.
Q: A number of the main characters in the “Circular Motion” are women. Why is that?
A: In most cases I wanted to explore the dynamics of women’s interpersonal relationships and the struggle involved with creating and maintaining those relationships, both with men and with other women.
Q: What do you want people to take away from “Circular Motion”?
A: First I would, of course, want to people to be entertained, but more than that, if people really looked at the interactions they have with others and experienced them in a way that increase the level of civilty and humanity that would be ideal. If nothing else, I would hope to move a reader to think more deeply about experences they can relate to in the book.
Q: When will “Circular Motion” be released?
A: It’s coming out on Tuesday July 10th 2007. Look for it on all the major online booksellers such as Lulu.com, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and Borders.com.
