Glow Into the New Year With the Exploratorium

Holiday lights may be coming to an end, but you can still light up the new year with Glow at the Exploratorium! Running through January 25th, Glow is a series of eight immersive light art exhibits. Each exhibit has been designed by a different artist and provides a unique interaction with light. 

At Glow, you’ll step into a world of light with experiences like never before.

• Play a dungeon crawler game by Berlin-based artist Robert Baumgarten
• Experience a bright optical illusion by Tristan Duke, who is widely known for his experimental artwork. 
• Get your vitamin D in with an artificial sun created by Jacqueline Hen, who weaves the beauties of art and science through interactive designs. 
• Immerse yourself in an ever-changing landscape designed by Akiko Nakayama, who specializes in bringing together Yin and Yang through the meeting of opposing colors. 
• Become a constellation with Maja Petrić, an award-winning artist known for using AI, Probiotics and custom media with light to create unimaginable immersive experiences. 
• Take a moment to admire the refracted light by Martens and Visser, who are known for lively pieces that create an intersection for art and physics.
•  See an ocean-breaking wave in the form of light orbs designed by Squidsoup, who use both digital and physical media to create fascinating environments.
• Meander through a city of lights built by Angela Yuen, a Hong Kong-based artist who builds urban neighborhood-like structures.
