The work of Andy Mattern and Olafur Eliasson, with musical performance by Onyx Lane
Aug. 18 - Nov. 20, 2025

This four-part performance series, Refractions of Light: A Sonic + Visual Experience, explores the intersection of light, sound, perception, and space. Each event is built around "1 m鲁 light" by Olafur Eliasson and incorporates "Cube of Light," a post-classical visual album created by Christina Giacona and Patrick Conlon through their label, Onyx Lane.
蜜桃影像AV thanks the Christan Keesee Charitable Trust for their support and funding in this project.
Special events include:
- Aug. 21, 5-7 p.m. "An Immersive Performance of Light and Sound"
Experience "Cube of Light" like never before in this powerful live performance featuring a string ensemble and vocal soloist. Inspired by Olafur Eliasson鈥檚 "1 m鲁 light," this multisensory event fuses music, light, and movement into a deeply immersive journey. Audiences will be enveloped in a world of evolving textures and visual atmospheres as the performers interact in real time with a glowing cube of pure light鈥攂lurring the boundaries between installation, concert, and performance art. Visually striking and sonically rich, Cube of Light: Live! invites listeners to slow down, look closer, and hear light in a whole new way.
鈥淐ube of Light鈥� is a 41-minute post-classical visual album created by Christina Giacona and Patrick Conlon. The music is influenced by the sounds of modern classical composition, Daft Punk鈥檚 "Random Access Memories," Muse, Animal Collective, the "Stranger Things" soundtrack, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Inspired by Olafur Eliasson鈥檚 鈥�1m3 light鈥� and Leo Villarreal鈥檚 鈥淪tar Ceiling,鈥� 鈥淐ube of Light鈥� is centered around the idea of artistic reflection and the journey of light through space, time, and consciousness.

Enter a space where sound and light collide in real time. "Refractions I: Light" is a live electroacoustic improvisation performance, drawing inspiration from Olafur Eliasson鈥檚 "1 m鲁 light" sculpture. Musicians will respond spontaneously to the sculpture鈥檚 shifting presence, weaving together fragments of composed material with real-time experimentation. The result is an ever-evolving sonic landscape鈥攗npredictable, immersive, and entirely unique to each performance. This is not just a concert, but a living conversation between music, light, and environment. Audiences will witness how sound can bend, refract, and illuminate, echoing the behavior of light itself.

Immerse yourself in the full sonic world of "Refractions I: Light" through a fixed-media Dolby Atmos playback, presented as an ambient sound installation alongside Olafur Eliasson鈥檚 "1 m鲁 light." This cutting-edge listening experience places the audience inside a fully three-dimensional soundscape, where music moves above, around, and within the space鈥攂lurring the lines between concert and installation. Every sonic detail is sculpted to interact with the light, creating a meditative and deeply immersive environment. Listeners are encouraged to sit, move, and explore the space freely, engaging with the album as a living artwork.
