I have climbed highest mountain, I have run through the fields . . . only to be with you, only to be with you . . . but I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

I have “T”ed to the Science Center, I have paid six-and-a-half- bucks . . . only for Laser U2, only for Laser U2 . . . but I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.

Boston’s Museum of Science houses a gigantic black canvas that begs to be painted with the colorful energy of U2. Laser Turk, resident master of sight-and-sound, throws beams of neon light onto the Planetarium dome during an hour-long multimedia concert. The music is amazing, but the lasers might leave you feeling stuck in a moment that you can’t get out of.

Laser U2 opens with the song “Beautiful Day.” Green rings pulsate toward the audience and a red heart throbs in and out with the beat of the bass drum. When Bono breaks into, “It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away,” an appropriate explosion of shapes and colors swirl across the dome. Although the show claims to “bring together classic songs from the ’80’s to today,” most of the songs are from the recent album All That You Can’t Leave Behind, with just a few quality Joshua Tree tracks thrown in.

Laser Turk calls the musical light show “an interesting art to learn” because he can “take a basic spiral and express artistic impressions with it.” He is good at representing musical phrases with the movement of light, but Laser Turk has little more than just basic spirals to work with. The majority of the other effects — lines, ovals, stick figures, and clip art — feel repetitive before the third song is over. If the audience has ever indulged in a multimedia experience like iTunes, Laser U2’s archaic graphics will make the Museum of Science seem more like a museum of ancient history.

The technology behind the lasers is a bit disappointing, but the human element of the show is rewarding. Laser Turk is eager to respond to the audience, so if he hears cheering or applause for a particular effect, he will definitely use it again. Laser Turk also tries to represent the theme of each song, although the resulting images usually fail to probe the depths of U2’s lyrics. “Elevation,” for example, is illustrated with a funny little space man and a cutesy space woman who drift flirtatiously among the planets. The effect is humorous, but, like most of the lasers in the show, it does little to enhance the music.

Laser U2 will be showing at Boston’s Museum of Science Thursday, October 24th though Saturday, October 26th at 8:00pm. Tickets are available at the museum or by calling (617) 723-2500.
