OVERVIEW
ALT Fest — Mesa Arts Center's annual celebration of Art, Light, and Technology — was the stage for ASU's spring 2026 drone show, titled From Light to Light.
The performance explored how light has shaped human culture across time, from natural phenomena through technology and artistic expression, translated into aerial choreography by synchronized drones moving across the night sky.
The show was designed by students enrolled in DSC 598: Designing Drone Light Shows at ASU's MIX Center, and produced professionally in partnership with Pulse Drones.
I served in the same role as Merry on Main: 3D artist and creative liaison, ensuring student work met professional production standards before handoff.
