Meow Wolf is a highly innovative and creative organization with a rich history of creating immersive and interactive experiences that blur the lines between art, technology, and storytelling, especially in reclaimed spaces that can be somewhat challenging. Their installations often feature complex sound, lighting, and projection systems, as well as intricate sets, and require the coordination of large teams of designers, technicians, and artists. This session promises to be an invaluable resource for anyone looking to create ambitious and immersive experiences with light, sound, and video.
