“If your thoughts were in the future, you loved electronics and music, and you had a vivid visual imagination, what profession would you choose?”


A laserist for a psychedelic light show at a planetarium, ‘natch!


In this fantastic 1977 video, meet Glenn Thomas, the laserist behind the Laserium “Cosmic Concert” at L.A.’s Griffith Observatory, who performed 12,500 shows over 25 years.


Far fucking out.


(Thanks, UPSO!)
