One of the more stranger figures of the visual music pioneer age - he dreamed of there being a Clavilux in everyone's home - it's a shame the TV got there instead.

Yes! The clavilux-home version is amazing ! And I love the remote control. Looks like an early game control. I can imagine arriving home and:" let's sit and watch some psychellic images in my new home device". . "Lets clavilux and chill!!"

😂 hahaha. But yeah, that controller looks really interesting. Just googled a bit and this device is form 1930. Also this diagram is awesome, "The Eight Major Fine Art, The art of Light, called Lumia"...

Yes, this poster/schematic is a classic, thanks for posting it... no straight lines here - Art Nouveau had its curved tendrils embedded in everything :)

Btw some years ago (>10) I wrote an article called "From Clavilux to Ufabulum" connecting the Wilfred's Clavilux in the early 1900s to Ufabulum ( Audiovisual live performance by Squarepusher in the 2010s) Pdf is online here: https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/jsta/article/view/7200

Cool, I know you were in deep research with this whole area, we talked about that a bit in Porto when we met. Also I remember your SVM(?) blog.

Yes SVM (Sound+Visuals+Movement) is still online, but a bit broken (some links and videos are broken). Also is on Tumblr, and tumblr looks a bit broken. 😅 (I stoped the updatings around 2018) https://s-v-m.tumblr.com/
