Red Bull Illume Photography Exhibit
(16 July 2008) - Through this Sunday, 20 July 2008, watching Minneapolis' skyline from the Stone Arch Bridge at sunset is more than nature's daily lightshow.

Illume is a first-of-it's-kind international traveling photography exhibit. Like a dark superhero,...

Leo Villareal: Origin
(30 October 2006) - Taking on Newtonian physics, Origin, New York-based light artist Leo Villareal's latest work, integrates the Laws of Motion into a computer code that controls an LED grid.
