The projected luminous colors are not obtained with brushes and pigments. The kaleidoscopic motion also motivated the artist-inventor to set colors in motion, so that they could combine and develop from one to the other continuously. Palatnik's first apparatus consisted of a study of the projection capabilities of the lenses. In the first apparatus there was only one bulb and one cylinder. At last, color is freed from the constraints of its existence, from the object, from local, chemical materialism.
Color becomes pure, direct, deriving from artificial luminous sources.
A pigment color fixed on the canvas is an accident that can always be removed. But the color that originates from light source is at once concrete and imponderable. In fact, one or more chromatic light sources can be projected simultaneously in several places. Each bulb can project and focus light in several places at the same time. This last movement acts as a kind of counterpoint.
