Lighting Without the Board

Monty Taylor

This course builds upon ITP’s expertise of lighting LED’s to explore how we can make artistic
choices for both how to light an event, our own work, or even make lighting based
sculptures. Traditionally this work was limited to those with access to large DMX boards;
however, we will look at how to use the DMX protocol to power large scale lighting rigs with
either code or open source software that emulates the traditional board approach. We will
also explore the artistic side of lighting to enable you to make more creative choices about
angle, color, and which instruments to use.
