Within the relatively new genre of light art, Illumaphonium are leading the field when it comes to interactivity, blurring the boundaries between entertainment and art, creating fully participatory illuminated installation work for public spaces around music and musical instruments – which by their very nature are hugely interactive.
They strive to create truly believable and authentic experiences for their audiences, something to be experienced, not observed. Instilling a sense of awe and wonder in all those that encounter their work.

Since 2000 Jacques Rival's work has focused on combining many fields of creation, various tools and scales of work in order to create projects with great aesthetic impact through design, art installations and architecture.
He approaches all his projects with a sense of dream and wonder, with the aim of capturing the simplicity of childhood.
