World - For Roger Waters' current Dark Side Of The Moon tour, lighting designer Marc Brickman is using solid-state lasers. This latest tool - a mid-tour addition - in Brickman's visual bag of tricks is a high-powered solid-state laser system provided by Lightwave International and Excitement Technologies Group.

The lasers are used specifically to reproduce the cover artwork of Dark Side Of The Moon. The effect was conceptualised by Marc Brickman, ETG's Kelly Sticksel, and Lightwave International's George Dodworth. Design was executed by Chris Nyfield of Hindsight Studios and Brickman, along with Sticksel and Dodworth.

The base structure was fabricated by ShowRig, headed by Eric Pierce. Final assembly was a joint effort between ShowRig, ETG, Lightwave International, Hindsight Studios, Stack Technical Services, and GCN Technologies.
