Leo Villareal - Light Up the Dark

Leo is a pioneering light artist, bringing teams and tech
together to activate buildings, bridges, and bastions. He started
Burning in 1994, founded Disorient camp, and is part of Black
Rock City every year.


Here he shares his journey from crafting a single beacon at his
tent to leading monumental art projects that reshaped skylines.
He illuminated the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the historic
bridges of London, and projects everywhere from NYC to Tokyo.


Join Leo and Stuart on how the open-source innovation of BRC
impacts the default world. Leo shares his process for conjuring
tech, from customizing LED fixtures to coding sequences. 


He describes how artists can engage with their communities
outside of their comfort zones. 


He tells stories of the convening power of photons as an artistic
medium, as a digital campfire for all.


Hear him flip the switch, and stay until the brilliant end.
