LIGHTHOUSE (WESTPORT, CT)
A Video Art Collection Created For VERSO Fest, 2026, at the Westport Library
THIS EXHIBIT IS CURRENTLY OPEN FROM MARCH 21-APRIL 5TH
Stamford-based video artist Holly Danger presents Lighthouse, an immersive art experience on display in the Sheffer Gallery as part of VersoFest 2026, The Westport Library's annual music and media festival and conference.
Lighthouse is a video art installation that reminds us that we project light into the world for ourselves and each other. As you move through this exhibit, you’ll be surrounded by thousands of colorful strings lining the perimeter of gallery. These soft, polyester strings are illuminated by projections and synchronized to an original soundscape, featuring a 10 minute original art piece.
The strings create a magical atmosphere as they dance with the natural airflow, abstracting the projections and spilling shadows and light around the room. The projected imagery is mostly abstract, featuring slow movement, vibrant colors, nature scenes, and original drawings from Danger, which offer uplifting messages.
This installation naturally invites participation — Viewers are invited to touch, interact, and take photos with the string. There will also be faux fur rugs and floor pillows for lounging and comfortably observing the artwork in a relaxing, inspirational space. We do kindly ask that viewers refrain from spinning, hanging, or running through the strings to ensure everyone’s safety and preserve the artwork’s integrity.
About the Artist
The project is created and produced by husband and wife team, artist Holly Danger and Jeff Schram. Together, they form a two-person collaborative team that create bespoke immersive experiences around the world.
Holly leads the visual design, while Jeff runs tech and composes original music that synchronizes seamlessly with the visuals. With years of experience working together on immersive installations, performances, and projection-based artworks, they bring a shared vision and passion to every project.
Danger's art combines motion, light, and sound to create joyful, immersive experiences, that invite you to step into and become a part of the art.
Some of her favorite projects to date have been creating an immersive art experience for the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, performing at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, her first international exhibit at the K Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, and creating large scale string projection installations at the Ignite Light + Art Festival in Ft. Lauderdale and at the MAD Arts Museum at Dania Beach.
Danger was honored to receive an award for Most Innovative at the Digital Graffiti Festival and most recently received the Connecticut Artist Fellowship Award.
