[January 26, 2022] - Starting April 15, nighttime at Nashville Zoo will blow your mind as Night Visions: a Wild Display of Light and Sound opens to the public. This after-hours event showcases projection lights, whimsical imagery, and sound through an immersive celebration of art and nature. Night Visions will run Thursday through Sunday nights until July 17.
After sunset, guests will stroll along a Zoo pathway and be immersed in a breathtaking spectacle. Created by Philadelphia-based company Klip Collective, this captivating, one-of-a-kind experience uses an imaginative combination of light and sound to create a unique bridge between technology and storytelling. Whimsical lights will scatter on different surfaces in a dazzling kaleidoscope of color. Guests can expect to see lights, patterns, and imagery illuminate the scenery at Nashville Zoo.
Klip Collective creates site-specific, sensory experiences using a unique synthesis of projection mapping, lighting, and sound design. Klip’s installations are dynamic, layered transformations of architecture and nature into large-scale, visual and auditory artworks. The collective includes a team of production and technical partners that create together under a unified vision and direction of video and installation artist, Ricardo Rivera. Klip’s first light and sound exhibit, Nightscape, was on view at Longwood Gardens in 2015. Klip has subsequently created Electric Desert at Desert Botanical Garden, the Art Walk at Hermitage Farm, and Night Forms: dreamloop at Grounds For Sculpture.
