The development of spontaneous projection painting required a parallel development of space for research and practice. The painter's abandonment of conventional media and the inadequacies of presentation policies for contemporary visual art prompted him to design and construct several light sound studios.
These studios have provided an important laboratory space for the technological developments necessary as well as opportunity for sustained experimentation and practice.

As one cannot rehearse spontaneity, the studio sessions have never been related to as rehearsals. Rather, the impermanance and present tense qualities suggested from the beginning a policy of viewer/listener participation in studio work.
