Raumlichtkunst (1926/2012) was the name of a series of live multiple projector concerts given by Oskar Fischinger in the 1920s in Germany. It was not performed after that time. In 2012 it was restored and reconstructed from original nitrate materials, by Center for Visual Music in Los Angeles. It now exists as an HD digital, three-projector, looped museum installation for black box galleries, having been on display at Tate Modern, Whitney Museum New York, ACMI Melbourne and other museums worldwide. The three non-synched loops create ever-evolving new combinations of abstract patterns. While the original was accompanied by live percussive music, the reconstruction is exhibited with three different compositions by John Cage and Lou Harrison, and Edgar Varese.
