concept

The 1st Annual Charles Townes Art & Technology Experience intends to generate awareness and gratitude for Charles Townes, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, who was a Greenville native and graduate of Furman University.

 

The project has as one of its goals to be a

catalyst for the acceptance and encouragement of experimentation and curiosity - in technology as well as the arts.The inaugural event will be staged in Travelers Rest, South Carolina on October 11, 2019 in Gateway Park.

 

The happening will consist of a site-specific light installation augmented by a reflective, minimalistic soundtrack & projected imagery that echoes highlights of Townes comments and philosophy.
