every light is a visitor on this planet
first seen on Yoko Ono / Imagine Peace Tower
what is it?
after a series of dances about the sky
including 1982 at the University of Iowa and 1984 at the Guggenheim Museum New York,
choreographer, intermedia artist, somatic pioneer and luminary Elaine Summers (1925-2014)
dreamed up an open invitation to anyone on this planet
to celebrate the sky in any way and medium they chose
more detailed skytime-history here
as the internet was emerging more widely around that time (1995)
she became especially interested in this (then) still very new medium ... what can it do?
a series of first contributions and concerts followed
this invitation is revisited for 2024-2025
in a new version towards Elaine's Centennial year
