Issue 003: Lasers ft. Shohei Fujimoto
Letter from the Curators
We grew up captivated by the potential of beams of light—concepts popularized by mid-20th-century scientists and novelists. The idea that these lasers can unlock everything from medical breakthroughs to advanced weaponry makes them both thrilling and mystical.
We are excited to have you join us again for this week's issue of Physical.Digital where we deep dive into the mesmerizing world of laser artistry, showcasing the incredible works of some seriously talented artists.
Our featured interview is none other than the visionary Japanese artist, Shohei Fujimoto. Known for pushing the boundaries of light and space, Fujimoto's insights promise to shed light on the creative process behind his mind-bending installations.
Thank you again for your continued support and enthusiasm as we uncover the latest trends and developments in the world of art and beyond.
Together, let's illuminate the possibilities and celebrate the ingenuity of today's brightest minds.
Thanks for joining us,
Lee & Dorothy
Featuring
The Japanese-born artist sat with us to discuss visualizing the unknown and the power of physical installations.
Even when experiments don't go as planned, they're never a waste.
For me, an artwork is similar to the atmosphere of a park in the city, where anyone can enter and feel free to do whatever they want there. A unique experience.
We were lucky that he was so open with his process, revealing
Acting on a spontaneous impulse or shaping a mental image without the constraints of language or predefined structure often yields something intangible, serving as a catalyst for this interpretation. This fascinates me.

Divergent Inspiration
We believe some of the most powerful inspiration comes when we least expect it. Each week we'll share something that has us excited, outside of our normal source of material.
The Power of Belief by Bruce H. Lipton PhD
“The Biology of Belief” by Bruce H. Lipton PhD (2005), really opened my eyes to the idea that our mindset and consciousness play a big role in our health and well-being. Before he came along, we were all stuck on this idea that our genes controlled everything about us, but Lipton totally flipped the script. He proved that it's not just about genetics – our thoughts and beliefs have a huge impact on our biology too! Just think about it, we can actually change how our genes behave through the power of our thoughts!

Joshua Tree
This week I'll be gathering with family in Joshua Tree, CA. When running through divergent inspiration exercises with my teams, I'm always struck by nature contributions. Nothing recharges me faster than a week(end) in nature with those I love.
