What's going on behind-the-scenes at the Renwick Gallery? While the Renwick is closed, it's far from dark: artists are installing the large-scale works that will be a part of No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man, opening on March 30. Shrumen Lumen is an interactive sculpture installation by FoldHaus Art Collective that responds to human interaction. FoldHaus is a collective of engineers, designers, and makers dedicated to creating interactive kinetic art. 

This is a photograph of two designers in Foldhaus looking up into Shrumen Lumen.
