  • Jen Lewin's fusion of art with technology can be experienced through February 16, 2025, in Houston where her 'ATLAS' installation suspends 24 handcrafted glowing moths from stately oak trees.

The article from Forbes, titled "Mingle With Moths Among The Oak Trees In Houston's Discovery Park," discusses an innovative art installation in Houston's Discovery Park. This installation, part of the "Moth Migration" project, features large, illuminated sculptures of moths created by artist Patrick Renner. These sculptures, which are made from recycled materials, aim to highlight the ecological importance of moths and their role in pollination, while also addressing the decline in moth populations due to environmental changes. The project not only serves as an educational tool but also as an interactive experience for visitors, encouraging them to engage with nature and art simultaneously. The installation is set amidst the park's oak trees, creating a magical nighttime environment where visitors can learn about biodiversity, conservation, and the beauty of these often overlooked creatures.
