A luminarium brings an Experience of Wonder plus:
Each booking is a collaboration between AoA and the promoter to ensure the best circumstances for the visitor to enjoy the luminarium.
Typically an exhibition period ranges between 4 and 30 days. While as many as 3,000 visitors have passed through a luminarium in one day the average attendance is around 800 visitors per day. Normally the promoter charges an entry fee.
If you would like to know more about hosting a luminarium Architects of Air will be pleased to provide a quotation.
In 2010 Architects of Air are touring 5 luminaria – Mirazozo, Amococo, Levity III, Levity II, and Amozozo.
All luminaria are modular and can be adapted to different sites. They are easy to install and can operate in most weathers. They are successful in their own right but can be used for many different functions - performance, workshops, education, and more.
The experience starts with the spectacle of installation. Setting up can take as little as 4 hours. Using only the power required to operate two domestic electric kettles, in just 20 minutes the luminarium inflates to monumental size – up to 1,200m2 on the ground and rising up to 10m high.
The appearance of this ephemeral cathedral of air is a dramatic intervention in the everyday environment.
At the end of the final day, once the last visitor has departed, the structure is unplugged, unzipped and can be on its way to the next exhibition in 90 minutes.
In the course of the exhibition as many as 3,000 visitors per day may have passed through the luminarium to come out happy, touched by a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour.
