Laserium's Origins
Ivan Dryer gives a brief history of the beginnings of LASERIUM, and lets fly his own imagination about additional forms of entertainment to which we can look forward.
Laserium in Popular Culture
Due to its ubiquity (shows in 46 cities on five continents), its popularity (over 20 million patrons) and its longevity (four decades), Laserium has become a cultural icon. It’s been referenced or appeared in: TV shows from Mork and Mindy to The Simpsons and Two and a Half Men; in movies from Starman to Star Trek and Disclosure; in music videos for Madonna, Herbie Hancock and Def Leppard, among many others; in magazines such as People and National Geographic World; along with countless newspaper articles and TV news and talk shows, including mentions by William Shatner on The Tonight Show and Tom Hanks on The Late Show (Letterman). And Laserium is a frequent metaphor for spectacle in reviews of everything from a Kenny Chesney concert to Tron: Legacy. It even shows up in a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The show is widely acknowledged to represent a milestone in music visualization and to have jumpstarted the worldwide laser display industry. As both an entertainment and art form it was saluted in Arts Magazine as the progenitor "…of the universally recognized high visual art of the future.
