More than a half million visitors from around the world have traveled to California’s Central Coast to experience Sensorio, a dreamscape of light by internationally acclaimed artist Bruce Munro. The experience features 100,000 stemmed glass spheres lit by fiber optics, which illuminate the sky and change color. Sensorio invites visitors to walk through the breathtaking, interactive field of light installation powered by solar. Visitors are also captivated by the adjacent Light Towers. The towers, which gently change colors, stand seven feet tall and are made from more than 17,000 wine bottles. “It’s where light meets technology meets nature,” said Jacob.
