Lightswitch lights drive-through sensory experience at Arizona State University with Elation USA – Leading lighting design house, Lightswitch, transformed an everyday parking garage on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe into an experience for the senses and turned to Elation luminaires, including Proteus Hybrids, for much of the sensory-rich exhibit. Called “designspace,” the drive-through experience featured visual design installations from industry professionals, structural artists HYBYCOZO and ASU students enrolled in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.
Lightswitch, who successfully redesigned The Morton Arboretum in Illinois into a drive-through experience this past holiday season, tapped into that knowledge for the mile-long drive adventure through the Packard Parking Garage. Described as an exploration of the duality of space, both the space above us and the space between us, the experience took riders on an immersive journey from our world to ou

Arizona State University s Packard Drive parking garage is typically where you might leave your car on the way to a game at Sun Devil Stadium, but this month, it’s been transformed into a this sensory drive-thru art show called Designspace. Even though we’re in a parking garage, we’re bringing space into the space with us. You kind of drive through these amazing high-res NASA images of the space above us, said John Featherstone, creative director of of the show.
The Designspace show, which runs April 9-25, is a one-mile drive. Spiraling through the garage, viewers will pass sculptural pieces and sound and light displays. Many pieces include images of stars and planets. In the final video projection, visitors cars are projected on massive screens, appearing to dissolve into dust and get sucked into a black hole.
“The experience is quite different than simply looking at a static piece of art on a wall,” explains John Featherstone, who conceived the idea and worked with more than 100 creatives to make it happen.
Two of Featherstone’s daughters attended ASU, which got him wondering how students with the school’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts would fare during the pandemic. He’s well-versed in visual culture, as a partner and principal with an international lighting, media, and visual design firm called Lightswitch.
“Museums, theme parks, concert halls, and immersive experiences were all getting cut off from the knees,” he recalls of early COVID-19 days. “I realized that a whole bunch of students might not be getting experiences in the real world the way they had before, and some might graduate without doing a show or having a portfolio.”
