About this project
The Joshua Light Show is set to create Liquid Loops II, a sequel to the Liquid Loops document of the classic liquid lightshow which has been displayed at the Whitney, Hirshhorn, Tate, Centre Pompidou and many other museums across the USA and Europe.
Liquid Loops II, much like its predecessor, acts both as a video portrait of the Joshua Light Show's ephemeral practice while doubling as a unique and indispensable tool for visualists, bands, and VJs, as the performance rights are granted with each sale of the DVD.
JLS founder Joshua White loves to reveal the secrets of his lightshow. The first edition of Liquid Loops plays an integral role in each performance we give. Liquid Loops II will become an essential aspect of our future presentations. Moreover, it will be made available to the public for purchase.
We are currently scheduling a series of film shoots using the highest quality Red Digital Camera to capture high-definition, 4K footage of this iconic imagery. This will involve renting the camera and studio, hiring a DP, and paying for the same kinds of production costs incurred by any professional film shoot, running several thousands of dollars. As the image quality is high, so must terabytes of data storage be acquired at additional cost. The remainder of the fundraised sum will go towards manufacturing and packaging.
The first Liquid Loops was captured years ago on 35mm film by artist Cecily Hoyt. Isn't it about time there was a second edition? Lovers of the light, we thank you for your support over the years and want to make sure that the new incarnation of the Joshua Light Show is documented, utilized to elevate our own practice, and shared with you and generations to come!
Thank You from Joshua White and the Joshua Light Show team

The Joshua Light Show is a team of 'live-cinema' artists which employs many of the same original, dazzling analog lighting effects which set the stage for musical artists such as The Who, Jimi Hendrix and The Grateful Dead (among countless others) at the Fillmore East in the later-1960s, where director and founder Joshua White was hired by famed Rock promoter Bill Graham to design the resident light show. More recently, the art world has taken an interest in the Joshua Light Show, resulting in installations at the Hirshhorn, Whitney, Tate Liverpool and others. This led White to reform the lightshow with a team of younger artists—Alyson Denny, Seth Kirby, Ana Matronic, Brock Monroe, Gary Panter, Doug Pope, Bec Stupak, and music director Nick Hallett—to allow contemporary audiences the chance to experience this explosive, ephemeral form. Recent performances include a sold-out run at the Abrons Arts Center, a collaboration with Yo La Tengo at Roseland Ballroom, Lincoln Center Out of Doors with Manuel Göttsching, and Museum of Fine Arts Houston with Silver Apples among others. A book about The Joshua Light Show's days at the Fillmore was recently published by Soundscreen Design.
