Thanks to the Denver Westword staff for writing about our one-year anniversary of Lumonics Immersed that we had on September 3rd.
Lumonics Immersed One-Year Anniversary

Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery, 800 East 73rd Avenue, #11
Lumonics Studio, immersive before anyone knew what to call it, has been showing off the light art of Dorothy and Mel Tanner for decades, and in Denver since 2009. But perhaps the best thing to happen at Lumonics started just a year ago, when the crew that manages Lumonics now that the Tanners are gone decided to launch the Lumonics Immersed series, introducing the trippy visual feast to a whole new audience.

Lumonics was honored to participate in the City of Broomfield‘s Gala on September 8, 2022. We created an installation of Mel and Dorothy Tanner’s light art: 6 wall-mounted sculptures plus 3 free-standing sculptures mounted on pedestals, and video projection on a large screen. The video and soundtrack was created by Dorothy Tanner and Marc Billard.
