Liquid Light Lab

Liquid Light Lab is the work of Steve Pavlovsky, a multi-dimensional light artist from New York City.

Following on the visual music traditions of Kandinsky, Thomas Wilfred, and The Joshua Light Show, Mr. Pavlovsky invokes the sublime and spiritual.

Building upon an analog relationship to Light and Time, Pavlovsky has created Liquid Light Lab, a living, breathing, visual expression of music, nature, and the human spirit. More »
