Infinite Light utilizes improvisation and pure movement to create work that is subtle and concentrates on the connection between mind and the intuitive body. Through collaboration with other artists and the incorporation of neuro-science, reciprocal art, and technology, Infinite Light explores its effect in multi-media art.
