Chris Herring – Light Breeze

A pioneer of interactive lighting and co-founder of the Portland Winter Light Festival, Chris brings his boundary-pushing design to Pickathon, illuminating the natural world with carefully choreographed wonder. This year he is bringing the hidden relic in the woods that gives the Windmill Neighborhood it’s name to life with a “Light Breeze.”

Chris Herring is co-founder of The Portland Winter Light Festival, Co-founder of Roboto Octopodo, freelance lighting designer, problem solver, lighting consultant, video and interactive artist. Since 2000, he has been pushing the boundaries of lighting in architecture and design. He is also part of an ever-evolving collective of artists, producers, creatives, and makers who’ve come together to dream, discuss, devise, and design new ideas for the built environment. Chris enjoys making space for artists and designers who don’t define themselves by corporate work, but have a dynamic vision for surrounding spaces. What makes him different is that he builds community, you can say it’s his passion.
