Did you know that the wind controls what you see on Meadow Lake at Illumination? Hundreds of sensors capture the wind’s speed and direction and turn it into data, resulting in a “pixel cloud” map that is used to control the floating lights. As the wind changes speed and direction, the lighting on the lake changes speed and direction, too.

In a new, more secluded, location in a grove of sycamore trees, you will be enveloped by a visual interplay between thousands of luminous, rotating points of laser light and starlike sparkles from dozens of gently rotating mirror balls. This back-and-forth duet between the lights is inspired by the way a group of trees communicates beneath visitors’ feet, like the grove of sycamore trees that frame Woodland Wonder.

Look closely at the light coming through the intricate designs of these amazing treelike structures. As the colors change from vibrant greens to hints of yellow, and from golden orange to dark purple and browns, can you picture the trees that surround you changing colors through the seasons? Silhouetted against the winter night, Crown of Light by HYBYCOZO shares the story of rejuvenation and the gifts of trees through every season.
