We Are All Made Of Light is an immersive art exhibition about our interconnectedness, created by Seattle-based artist Maja Petric. The installation utilizes interactive light, spatial sound, and artificial intelligence (AI) to create audiovisual trails of each visitor as they move through the space. These personalized light sculptures accumulate as the exhibition progresses, emulating a constellation in which visitors are connected to one another through the past, present, and future. The installation creates an immersive starscape, evoking the beauty of the universe and revealing the invisible ties between us and the rest of the world. We Are All Made Of Light also coincides with Seattle’s BOREALIS: a festival of light, debuting in October in South Lake Union and across Seattle.

The technological components of We Are All Made Of Light are developed by Microsoft Principal Researcher Mihai Jalobeanu.

This project is made possible through the support of MadArt, 4Culture, University of Washington Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS), and University of Washington School of Drama.
