Exploratorium Spring Gala
Event design is fleeting and theatrical. My favorite annual Gala at the Exploratorium was Immerse Yourself in the Arts. The space and lighting design took inspiration from my graphic design concept of mixing the light primaries to make white light. The program booklet cover, the tablecloths and flowers were all stark white, where the colored lights overlapped....until they picked up the beautiful colored shadows from the guests, their table settings, their interactions....
Exploratorium Science of Cocktails
For this annual event, we wanted to honor the cocktail bar as a scientific laboratory and the bartender as a creative chemist. We focused on the beautiful tool kit of a mixologist.
Exploratorium After Dark
Afterdark was an ongoing monthly series of evening museum events for adults only, where science, art installations, party, performance and mediated experiences all merged around a unique theme. Fear was our most edgy focus, where "tension" was a desirable effect. It was a rare opportunity to experiment and test images representing specific fears with visitors.
