Join us for an opening reception for "Lightwall," an interactive installation that explores perception, presence, and the evolving relationship between humans and responsive technologies. Developed by artist Rita Sus in collaboration with technologist Zach Rattner and students from California State University, Fullerton, "Lightwall" integrates kinetic sculpture, custom electronics, and artificial intelligence to create an environment that responds in real time to visitors’ movement and sound. As audiences engage with the installation, shifting light patterns and rotating prisms generate continuously changing visual conditions, positioning the viewer as an active participant in the work. The opening reception offers an opportunity to experience "Lightwall" firsthand and to engage with a project that reflects the Museum’s commitment to presenting contemporary art at the intersection of art, technology, and education.
