Space Saga at Lumonics Immersed

We just placed Space Saga by Mel Tanner in the performance room at Lumonics. We converted it to LED so it can be orchestrated during the light and sound immersion. It had been in storage for a long time!

Like so many of Mel’s wall sculptures, it looks flat from a distance until you start to get closer to it and see its dimensionality.
