“No words to describe this experience. Immersive, living, breathing, cerebral sound and light.”

 

For over 50 years, Lumonics has been a pioneer in light art. Founded in the 1960s by the late Dorothy and Mel Tanner, it is “one of the first and longest-standing light art studios in the U.S., long before immersive art was considered a trend”. (Denverite)

 “We present the most up-to-date form of the Lumonics expression that originated in 1969. Our intention is to expand the boundaries of sensory engagement and artistic expression, and honor Dorothy and Mel Tanner’s contribution to light art and the immersive experience.”
 – Marc Billard / Barry Raphael
