This past weekend Blink , the US’s largest light, art, and projection mapping experience, lit up over 30 blocks in downtown Cincinnati, OH — and Louisvillians Ryan Daly + Garrett Crabtree Jr. represented Derby City.

The award-winning duo that makes up Lapis Laser Display specializes in original laser compositions and installations — you might have seen their work at The Holiday Laser Dome , the Louisville Ballet’s production of “Swan Lake,” + more.

Their installation at this year’s Blink fest filled the alleyway next to Cincy’s 21C Museum Hotel . The show featured eight lasers, 16 mirrors, 40 DMX flood lights, and six hazerswhich are similar to fog machines and needed in order to see the lasers at work — and was set to house music mixed by Garrett.

Catch Ryan and Garret’s next laser endeavor at the Mega Cavern’s annual Lights Under Louisville opening on Fri., Nov. 11.
