...Sculptor Nicolas Schoffer and avant-garde Choreographer Alwin Nikolais to place The Globolinks in the proper visual orbit. Schoffer designed the production as a Now Generation light show, employing spotlights, slide projectors and blinking flashbulbs. He provided a continuous flow of color patterns that alternately suggested cityscapes, outer space, subterranean depths.
