InLight Digital Art & Light Festival
Digital art is a growing art movement that’s becoming more popular and accepted by the public. As technology advances, it offers new ways for artists to create and share their work, such as through NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and video walls, and other interactive installations.
We had the pleasure of launching the first Digital Art & Light Festival in Gainesville, FL, which took place from April 24-26. This event was an unprecedented celebration of digital art and light, and it truly lived up to its promise of being a beacon of creativity and innovation.
The festival featured various digital art installations, including interactive video walls, projection mapping, state-of-the-art holograms, and Augmented Reality (AR). Designed to illuminate the mind and inspire the soul, InLight transformed Gainesville into a vibrant spectacle of light and technology, showcasing the transformative power of art in public spaces.
The timing of this immersive event was perfect as it coincided with the 26th annual Florida Association of Public Art Professionals (FAPAP) Conference and April’s Art Walk. The backdrop of the event included in-depth discussions on the latest trends, challenges, and best practices in public art, making it a pivotal moment for cultural enrichment and professional development within Gainesville’s art scene.

Interactive Video Walls
Artist: Charles Alan Rye, Energy Science Unlimited
Lighting Designer & Producer. More Info: Charles Alan Rye Profile
This digital canvas responds to the presence and movements of viewers, allowing for a dynamic interaction between the artwork and its audience. Each interaction triggers changes in the imagery, making the audience an integral part of the art installation.
Hologram Kiosk Experience
Artist: Jay Rosen
Artist & Developer. More Info: Jay Rosen Profile
Cutting-edge holographic displays bring the impossible to life, creating three-dimensional images that float in mid-air. These holograms depict abstract art forms, lifelike figures, and narrative scenes that viewers can walk around and view from different angles.
Projection Mapping
Artist: Jacob Case & Tyler Hale, Eclectic Electric
Designer & Fabricator
Utilizing the architecture, projection mapping transforms ordinary surfaces into extraordinary visual experiences. Concrete walls, architecture, and the water serve as canvases for 3D video projections that play with depth, motion, and perspective.
LED Cube Installation
Artist: Charles Alan Rye, Energy Science Unlimited
Lighting Designer & Producer
A 3D volumetric display draws the viewer into an experience surrounded by thousands of LED neurons. By arranging strings of tiny lights into a grid pattern with individual control of each LED neuron, displaying a three-dimensional form becomes possible.
