Line Describing a Cone

Attending the presentation of Line Describing a Cone was pretty cool, especially since we had a living room to see it in; it kind of made it more authentic. Someone mentioned the Disney show they put on at Epcot, they use smoke, colored lights and fireworks, and it also made me think of this show. I cannot seem to remember the name but I took my kids to see it when they were younger. It was interesting to see how the amount of smoke and the way people manipulated the light affected the appearance of the emerging cone. Putting my head inside the cone was fun and I think everyone in the room had a good time playing with this installation style piece. For some reason I thought it was going to take much longer for the cone to be created and I was a bit surprised that when it was over the image ended. I half expected the cone to start changing color or something like that when it was complete. I do not know why I thought this. The only drawback was I felt like I carried the smell of the fog-machine smoke with me for the rest of the day, but it was worth it and I did not notice anybody looking at me like I was stinky.
