Psychedelic Light and Power Company |
"The theater had three large screens with 11 projectors to run short films. The artists were Scott Bartlett and Paul Hawkin with additional film provided by Tom DeWitt who remained in San Francisco finishing up his degree at San Francisco State College. A single strip film built from the short film loops was collated by Bartlett under the name OffOn and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEr9Z7Q4ZxY OffOn sold into hundreds of museums and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2004. Some consider it the quintessential psychedelic film, and it does transmit a good impression of the Light Show. Tom Ditto - February 2014 |
