Sensorio, the Central California location dedicated to the intersection of art, technology, and nature, continues to welcome crowds to its stunning multi-acre outdoor exhibit, Bruce Munro: Light at Sensorio. The exhibit has recently refurbished and expanded its stunning Field of Light by Bruce Munro, adding 42,000 glowing orbs to its existing 58,000, creating a field now featuring 100,000 stemmed spheres lit by fiber-optics which gently illuminate the landscape in subtle blooms of morphing color – making it the world’s largest Field of Light installation. Since opening in May 2019, the exhibit has captured an enthusiastic audience from across the country and around the globe, with a half-million guests from 70 countries to date. In April 2021, Sensorio commissioned a second work by Munro, Light Towers, which is located adjacent to the Field of Light. Featuring 69 towers composed of more than 17,000 wine bottles, illuminated with glowing optic fibers whose colors evolve to an ethereal musical score, Light Towers celebrates Paso Robles’s extensive wine country environs. Sensorio has been hailed for creating a “movement that infuses culture in valleys of viticulture” (The New York Times), and offering a unique adventure described as “the future of public wellness” (Forbes), and a “pilgrimage-worthy art escape” that is “meant to complement, never compete or detract, from the beauty of the landscape” (Travel + Leisure).
Sensorio enhances the viewing experience with nightly live entertainment by local musicians, and offers food and beverages including wine, beer, a selection of mixed cocktails, snacks, and meals. A Terrace Experience option is also available, including exclusive access to a private terrace overlooking Field of Light with an Airstream bar, reserved seating, fireside tables, and other amenities.
