, the ten-minute video offers a deeper understanding of the artists’ vision and their journey in developing their light sculptures, or Lumonics. After the video, will present those sculptures, which light up to music and video effects controlled by Billard. The immersive experience, which happens at the Denver gallery on Saturdays at 8 p.m., is meant to be a multi-sensory excursion into the layers of consciousness.
When Mel passed away in 1993, Dorothy and the Lumonics team continued to host immersive performances in his honor. However, when the collective moved to Denver in 2008, there was initially some hesitation about continuing the shows."Dorothy and Marc were reluctant to continue the show when we first opened this venue because it was much smaller than we were used to," Raphael explains.
. The remaining Lumonics team members — Raphael, Billard and Barbara Billard, the gallery's technical assistant — started looking for ways to carry on the performances in Dorothy's honor after she passed away in July 2020 at age 97.," says Raphael."Marc is constantly looking for better ways to control the room and is still producing new music and a video for the piece. We are constantly coming up with new ideas to elevate the form.
