Luminous Abyss, is a Lumigraph built for DeepDIVE, an experimental performance produced by the Alameda-based West End Arts District. This Lumigraph is an interpretation of the live performance apparatus invented by Oskar Fischinger in the late 1940’s. Fischinger was well known for painting and animated films. His classic film, “Composition in Blue,” 1935, was a clear inspiration for parts of Disney’s “Fantasia.”
