An enchanting fiber optic symphonic orchestra
—Sensorio debuted a new experiential art installation in early April 2025. Created by UK artist Bruce Munro, FOSO combines light, music, technology, and nature in an immersive experience. Visitors can experience a walk through a symphony of light and sound created by 32 fiber optic columns of light synchronized to an original score by award-winning composer Nainita Desai.
FOSO joins previous installations that are illuminating the venue’s 35 acres for a complete sensory immersion experience. This latest installation promises to be as enchanting as all of the installations at Sensorio.
Dimensions by Hybycozo
Sensorio commemorated its fifth anniversary in May 2024 with the debut of the Dimensions immersive art exhibition. This exhibit, in development for three years by Los Angeles-based artists Hybycozo, is a collaborative venture between Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk, renowned worldwide for creating monumental geometric metal sculptures. The exhibit showcases expansive geometric metal sculptures for visitors to explore as they are enveloped by shifting lights and music in a continuous 33-minute spectacle.
“Dimensions at Sensorio represents our exploration of the relationship between light and music, shadow and pattern, environment and form,” the artists elucidate. “This installation orchestrates an interplay of geometry and space, designed to engage observers in an immersive experience.”
Featuring sculptures large enough to traverse and others adorned with interactive elements, visitors are encouraged to observe how their movements influence the surrounding light and shadows. The artists collaborated with globally acclaimed musician Alen Hulsey to compose the 33-minute musical accompaniment.
Field of Light
Sensorio debuted in 2019 with its Field of Light exhibit, which featured tens of thousands of solar-powered fiber optic stems adorning the landscape. Sensorio, initially conceived as a temporary attraction, has evolved into a permanent fixture.
Propelled by demand, the owners opted to enhance the experience, incorporating new exhibits that fuse light technology with innovative materials such as wine bottles and fishing poles, all crafted by pioneering artist Bruce Munro.
Since its inception, Sensorio has hosted over half a million visitors, earning accolades from Travel + Leisure as a “pilgrimage-worthy art escape,” further cementing its status as a must-visit destination in wine country.
