In her \u003ci\u003eSerpentine Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, she wore a large, diaphanous gown she manipulated with her arms to form undulating waves, while colored lights projected onto the fabric gave the illusion of birds, animals or flowers. While her profound influence on writers and artists such as Mallarm? and Rodin is well documented, less well known is Fuller's passion for technology and her involvement with the leading scientists of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLecture on Radium\u003c\/i\u003e spotlights Fuller's scientific forays in her own words alongside an array of archival documents and photographs of the dancer in action. The centerpiece of the book is her 1907 lecture on the invention of radium, her notes on meeting Marie and Pierre Curie and Thomas Alva Edison, and her literally explosive efforts to create a glow-in-the-dark dance performance. Featuring an introduction by renowned cinema scholar Tom Gunning, this book presents Fuller's eccentric passions and pioneering pursuits in a fresh light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Christine Burgin\/Further Reading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51243471274258,"sku":"9780997645620","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_da6a6b4d-329e-4da5-aee9-44c1b37b4332.jpg?v=1745865101","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/loe-fuller-lecture-on-radium-9780997645620","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
