I believe the show is a commercial one produced by a Chinese company. No literature was available, so I don?t know whether this is a new idea or not (hard to think there are new art forms after 4000 years of Chinese civilization!). I know that there have been others in the U.S. I don?t know of any Chinese community here in the Raleigh area. Lots of Indian and I believe Pakistani attendees at our astronomy club?s monthly public viewings, probably as a result of the three big universities here and the industrial research firms in the Research Triangle Park area, but I don?t think there are many Chinese immigrants. ?howard > On Dec 4, 2016, at 9:13 AM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > > Very skillfully done those creations - is it a Chinese community > initiative, Howard?
