If it looks like the mansion at the Hunter Museum of American Art is falling down tonight, don’t worry; it’s all smoke and mirrors. Or, more specifically, it’s all 3-D lights.
It’s a little tough to explain — “that’s our challenge,” said Carla Pritchard, director at Chattanooga Presents, “to communicate something that’s never been done here before.”
Essentially, a 3-D light show uses light to create optical illusions, such as, say, pieces of a building coming off.
“It’s not your typical light show,” said Pritchard, who called the visual effects “unbelieveable” and “mind-boggling.”
