PASEO 2024 Artists & Installations
Architects of Air
The main attraction for PASEO 2024 is a 7,000 square foot inflatable Luminarium. Titled, “Daedalum,” it takes its name from Daedalus. In Greek mythology he was the father of Icarus and the architect of the labyrinth of King Minos of Crete. Daedalum’s core element is a maze of 19 egg-shaped domes whose spatial arrangement creates mysterious sight-lines. The Main Dome features an innovative indirect illumination that varies the color inside according to the dome’s position and the sun’s direction. The 600-piece pattern of the Main Dome ceiling was inspired by Rome’s Pantheon and the Gustave Doré drawing of angels circling heavenward in Dante’s paradise.
A luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be moved to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and color. Since 1992 over 3 million visitors in more than 40 countries across 5 continents have immersed themselves in the spectacular and luminous world of Architects of Air.

What real or imagined landscape brings you relaxation?

Dante Biss-Grayson
This Inter-Tribal Holographic Installation is an art Installation using holographic technology to create a moving video image. The idea of the work is to visually communicate the connections between the physical
and the spiritual world. It is a virtual representation of how ceremony and dance are used to connect to the spirit world. The dancers in the installation are dancing in their traditional regalia, they dance and eventually the image begins to become abstract and this is the spirit, the connection that is created while in traditional dance.
