Funki Porcini Laserium Saturday < Back 27 January 2024 More than 450 visitors queued on Saturday night of the Gravesham Light Festival for Funki Porcini’s Laserium. The 10-minute taster filled the darkened Fourth Portal with 800 synchronised lasers, pulsating to an original score. Reviews ranged from exceptionally calming to imagining the universe forming. Previous Next Following the success of Friday night’s Laserium, even larger crowds gathered on Saturday at the Fourth Portal for another immersive spectacle. More than 450 visitors queued to experience the 10-minute Laserium taster, with reviews ranging from exceptionally calming to imagining the universe forming. The Laserium, an 800-laser rig built by composer, musician, and artist James Braddell (aka Funki Porcini), transformed the darkened church into a mesmerising display. Beams of light danced off mirrors and glass, synchronised to Funki Porcini’s surreal soundscapes, creating a hypnotic and deeply immersive experience. The free event welcomed visitors of all ages, from the youngest children to the eldest attendees. Responses varied, with younger audiences describing the performance as soothing and meditative, while older visitors found it intense and absorbing. The full one-hour immersive show followed on Sunday, 28 January 2024. Earlier that afternoon, a talk was held with Laserium collaborators Andy Payne and Nicky Cure, who also designed the Crawley Bots robots and contributed to the laser rig’s construction.

James Braddell, aka Funki Porcini, is a British electronic music provocateur, blending surreal jazz, found noise, synthetic textures, and dreamlike logic. A defining artist of Ninja Tune’s early years, his name plays on Funghi Porcini, the Italian term for the Boletus edulis mushroom, commonly known as penny bun. Braddell spent ten years in Italy composing for film and television before returning to England in 1994, signing with Ninja Tune, and setting up his own studio, The Uterus Goldmine.

< Back Mickey Mouse Has Entered The Public Domain No sooner has Mickey Mouse come out of copyright than there is a generative AI model that allows anyone to generate images of Mickey. Huggingface.co 2 Jan 2024 The post copyrignt world has arrived, the possibilities are tantalising. Mickey Mouse just entered the public domain today and here's a generative AI model that you can play with. Just type in the words and see what comes out! Mickey-1928 is fine-tuned version of Stable-Diffusion-xl trained on 96 stills in the public domain from 1928. Mickey-1928 can generate images of Mickey, Minnie and, to a much lesser extent, Pete (with the prompt PeteLegPete). Since 2024, the first three cartoons of Mickey are in the public domain. The final dataset includes: 40 stills from Gallopin' Gaucho (in color) 22 stills from Plane Crazy 34 stills from Steamboat Willie. The stills are not currently available in high quality and you should not expect consistently good results from Mickey-1928. The color images from Gallopin' Gauchoare in 360x360 pixels. Hopefully with the cartoons now being part of the public domain, higher definition versions should be available. The generated images aims adhere to the 1928 design in order to have Mickey, Minnie and Pete and in the public domain. This is still a work in progress: while the model is in development, generated images should be checked to ensure they really are in the public domain design. https://huggingface.co/Pclanglais/Mickey-1928?text=drawing+of+Mickey%2C+discovering+ChatGPT For more: Previous Next
