Welcome! This website is dedicated to the visual performance art of the Poet of Light, Jonathan Newman. The artist's work can be described as rich, fluid, electric, hypnotic, pulses of color of light. Here you will find samples of his work, detailed descriptions, selected writings, and means of contact.
The Poet of Light creates all the visual content shown at his performances and on this site. At the moment, most of his work begins with water refection studies that he captures on digital video. Using a variety of video effects, he then transforms the water reflections into unique abstract patterns. For live performance, he generally has hundreds of such patterns which he mixes and projects according to the energy of the audience and the music being performed. To truly appreciate his work, it must be experienced when he performs live to beautiful electronic music and the energetic dancing crowds at trance gatherings.
