A year ago today we held the first brainstorming meeting for our next, interactive, public art project at Center for Design Innovation. Over 50 artists, engineers, designers, educators, entrepreneurs, community leaders, activists, innovators, musicians, filmmakers, and all around good people joined in for that first meeting.
***Beyond Imagination***
was launched into the world nine months later; thanks in large part to the enormous talent, energy, time and tenacity dedicated by the 15 people on the Dream/Design/Build Team (listed below in the film credits).
Hundreds of people flooded into the 60 x 60 x 60 foot CUBE at Center for Design Innovation on September 22 and 24 to become part of Beyond Imagination.
The centerpiece of the installation was an original 20-minute film that was projected 4 stories high inside the CUBE. You can watch the film on YouTube (*note, the music starts at 23 seconds), here:

There is a Providence that brought us here and gave us to each other at this time. In and through us, a greater tapestry to creativity is being woven. . . . The great traditions tell us that community somehow already exists. When we come together in compassion and generosity, this hidden belonging begins to come alive between us. . . . Perhaps community is a constellation. Each one of us is a different light in the emerging collective brightness. A constellation of light has greater power of illumination than any single light would have on its own. Together we increase brightness.
—John O’Donohue
