BIOTRONIC RADIANCE / starts w/ color light energy research

+ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY+
>i call "biotronic energy" for a shortened version<
>is the ultimate in environmental experience and<
+GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY
>starts w/ research in color, light, energy vision<
>& at the heart of my synergetic environ work<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 +ELECTRIC WISDOM MACHINE+
>was my first california design (1969) for sdsu<
>and i am showing two versions on Facebook<
+(GOOGLE :> EUGENE RAY /+
+ELEC. WISDOM MACHINE)+
>like the jazz workshop i built in new orleans<
>has 2 modes of color, light, energy environ<
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+UFO-ET RESEARCH REVEALS+
>(cosmic consciousness< is<
>devoted to energy search)<
+LIGHT A CONSTANT FACTOR+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >"The Electric LOVE Garden" was our first major<
>exhibition @sdsu & i was touched that my friends<
+(GOOGLE :> EUGENE RAY /+
+ELECTRIC LOVE GARDEN)+
>John & Tania Messina came from east coast to see<
>and photograph just as they did my Tulane Show !<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >cosmic consciousness was evident in all<
>of our sdsu environ design exhibitions &<
+(GOOGLE :> EUGENE RAY /+
+COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS)+
>i started w/ a dark room working toward<
>the light to emphasize the cosmic vision<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 >cosmic consciousness was evident to all<
>driving down nautilus street to perceive<
>the silver ship high on its hillside and i<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+>> / THE SILVER SHIP)+
>was always grateful the site was cheap<
>(the steep site frightened buyers away)<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >the sighting of a ufo or extraterrestrial causes<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+>> / UFO MOTHERSHIP)+
>a lifetime cosmic consciousness & inspiration<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>the electric love garden was my first exhibition<
>at sdsu and it was galvanized by my sighting a<
+(GOOGLE :> EUGENE RAY /+
+ELECTRIC LOVE GARDEN)+
>ufo over baton rouge in 1947 which >inspired<
>all of my architectural concepts after that time<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>by 1970 i had invented a photographic way<
>to simulate the radiance of transcendental<
>biotronic structures and i wrote this letter<
+(GOOGLE : EUGEBE RAY+
+ / MEDIA INVENTIONS)+
>to rizzoli in 1982 seeking a publication<
>but they apparently did not understand<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >in new orleans i constructed three radiant<
>architecture projects in the old vieux carre<
+(GOOGLE :>> EUGENE RAY /+
+RADIANT ARCHITECTURE)+
>by 1969 that paved my way to california<
>& all the experimental biotronic oeuvre<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >perhaps my best concept for large scale radiant<
>tensile structure was this giant fiberoptic design<
+(GOOGLE :> EUGENE RAY /+
+FIBER OPTIC STRUCTURE)+
>for an entrance to san diego constructed over<
>freeway i-5 near lajolla in a local competition<
>(sadly nothing done,  / authority w/o vision)<  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >of the 4 pages "a+u" published of my work<
>this page (left) is my favorite because of the<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+ / RADIANT GRAPHICS)+
>Radiant Images, (my Tulane invention, 67)<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >in 1985 my "cosmic consciousness" was given<
>a large boost by the publication of the radiant<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+ / 1985 PUBLICATIONS)+
>"unisphere" by a+u in tokyo & by the paris<
>biennale selecting my >radiant architecture<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >the studio in the silver ship in lajolla<
>was the mise-en-scene for >"radiant<
>architecture" to expand in synergetic<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+ / FIBER OPTIC TABLES)+
>prototypes like the yogurt shop with<
>fiber optic tables< for larry urrutia<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 >my radiant architecture concepts were<
>given another boost around 1980 by<
+(GOOGLE : EUGENE RAY+
+ / COLOR XEROGRAPHY)+
>the introduction of affordable color<
>xerox machines from canon, japan<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
+PERHAPS SOME DAY THIS+
+HISTORY SHALL >FUEL A+
>(at 82 i cannot produce a<

>know the blog is first in<

>/art, architecture & life)<
+PROFOUND BOOK< AND+
+THIS BLOG SHALL HELP+
