Artist
Dorothy Tanner uses light as her medium along with water, plastic,
fabric and her imagination. The sculptures adorning the walls and
fountains on display at Lumonics are psychedelic and mesmerizing.
When Tanner and her talented crew open up Lumonics for an event (which
is at least every weekend), there's almost always a light show filling
an entire wall, courtesy of guest videographers and designers or the
Lumonics experts themselves. The space contains several rooms and
display areas, with secure spots to stash coats, shoes and jaw-dropping
art (don't miss the pyramid installation). Shows range from intimate
world-music journeys to bass-heavy dubstep lineups to DJ workshops
to ecstatic chant and dance. For an illuminating experience, there's
no substitute for Lumonics. |

"Light has the power to create, define, and solidify; or leave in shadow that which we believe to be real." "The
major challenge for me in art is to keep under control the tyranny
of a logical mind. The spirit that moves me is capricious, unruly
and irreverent. Most of my work grows out of intuitive impulse
the rest gets underway by just playing." |

The
Explorer DVD
was selected for the first Video Lounge at the Ultra Music Festival
in Miami. The exhibit "showcased some of today's global avant-garde
video artists." The Tanner/Billard visuals and music are an extension
of the pioneering video art form of Dorothy Tanner and Mel Tanner (1925-1993),
beginning in 1978. It is rooted in the live visual performances that
began in the Lumonics Light and Sound Theatre in 1969.
