From hidden eastern forests, to vast western deserts, Photonic Bliss has been in the business of rewriting realities and teaching human senses to experience environments that were once outside possibility. Brian Pinkham and Pete Silva have been pushing the envelope of interactive, full-spectrum lighting and sensory technology for years, in an attempt to awaken human souls to their own divine creative moment.
PhotonicBliss was recently contracted by our friends at Octa Products, to make an interactive LED table for their CES product launch last week.
The task was to create an LED installation which would draw people in to their tradeshow booth and simultaneously feature their product (an innovative suction-based iPad/tablet. What was birthed as a result was a galactic LED representation of the Octa logo with negative pressure sensors embedded into it to measure the suction created by Octas suction docks which would create beautiful pulses of light in response the how much pressure was being created by their product.
The piece was constructed using extruded plexiglass tubing custom cut and sandblasted to elegantly diffuse the independently controllable LED lighting. The top of the table was a gorgeous piece of 3/4″ clear acrylic CNC machined out to fit the tubes, and a CNC milled mirror acrylic base which would reflect the lighting and allowing anyone looking into the table to be able to see their reflection.
The following is a quick video of the table lighting in action (more coming soon!)
Our latest installation called Synthesthesia is a hybrid of our Whompilator installation, Galactivation Station, wrapped in an enveloping dimension of textured light and surround sound.
Here is a video of the Whompilator insides which nicely demonstrates the interactivity element of this piece
This weekend we unveiled the Universal Vagina of Light, an incredible representation of the Divine Feminine and the path to Unity. This piece was envisioned and birthed by the amazing Meredith Brown and we had the honor of bestowing our light upon it!
Incredible abundance and epic bliss this weekend at the Lightning in a Bottle festival. Just arrived home in Colorado, and still buzzing on the incredible vibration cultivated at LIB!
Favorite comment of the festival:
Toshi – You made the music pyramid? that was second favorite thing at the festival!
Me – Awesome! what was your first favorite?
Toshi – The electron clouds!!
This was our West Coast premiere of our Electron Cloud fiber optic light whips… and they sold faster than we could have ever hoped! We just placed the order for all the parts needed to make more and they should be ready within a few weeks so feel free to place your orders now and we’ll ship them out as soon as they are made!!
It’s been over a month since bringing our light to Envision Festival Costa Rica and it still warms my heart just thinking about all that yummyness!! Here’s a video from the festival put together by two amazing film makers!
Just finished editing a video of the Merkaba at Unify. We are definitely cultivating some amazing energy here and we are very excited to see how all this juiciness manifests!
This is a compilation of our creations during 2010 as well as our work on the Chariot of Infinite Love art car in 2009. It has been a busy year for us and we are very excited for what’s to come in 2011!
Here’s the first generation prototype of our fully addressable LED Christmas lighting system!
The effects are fairly rough as this is just a proof of concept which will be refined in the coming weeks, so come back and check in on how it’s evolved!.
Check out our friends over at Motif Jazz Bar, Colorado Springs.

So we took the show on the road, on a 20-foot trailer, down to New Orleans, LA with great results! The Mushroom Patch car collaboration between Photonic Bliss and Butch Kanter was a hit, it made local papers!
“There are fewer art installations this year. [....] The clear winner, though, is the mushroom car. In the daylight, it looks like it could be the MGMTmobile, the one the band drove to the studio to record Congratulations. At night, the mushrooms light up and the garish color palette is more muted and oddly integrated into the Voodoo landscape in a way that a parked Mardi Gras float isn’t.”
We’ll be working on some new experiences.. just around the corner.
