Time Loop at Crystal Bridges
An Immersive Forest of Light and Imagination
It’s not every night you find yourself walking through an illuminated forest that seems to breathe, shimmer, and hum with energy but that’s exactly what happened when the Stroll Pinnacle crew was invited to the media preview of Time Loop at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
We were instantly transported. As the light installations rippled across the trees and the soundscapes surrounded us, it felt as if time itself had folded - past, present, and future glowing together in color and motion.
A Nighttime Experience Like No Other
Time Loop is back for another year, and this time it’s evolved. Created by the renowned Klip Collective, the experience transforms the North Forest into a living canvas of light and sound. Visitors are invited to wander, pause, and lose themselves in a mesmerizing choreography of nature and technology.
Each section of the forest tells its own story one moment playful and kinetic, the next quiet and reflective. And perhaps the most magical part? It changes as the months pass. The installation interacts with the natural environment, so as the leaves shift from green to gold, the experience itself transforms with the seasons.
About the Artists
Klip Collective, based in Philadelphia, is known worldwide for pioneering “projection mapping” an art form that blends light, sound, and storytelling in natural and architectural spaces. Their work has appeared in museums, festivals, and landmarks across the globe, but Time Loop at Crystal Bridges holds something truly special: it allows art and nature to collaborate.
Through this partnership, Crystal Bridges continues to expand what art can be, inviting visitors to explore creativity not just on walls, but in the living world around them.
Gratitude and Connection
A big thank-you to Emma Claybrook and the entire Crystal Bridges media and communications team for continuing to keep Stroll Pinnacle in the loop literally and figuratively! Their partnership allows us to share these one-of-a-kind experiences with our Pinnacle Country Club neighbors and celebrate the innovative spirit that defines Northwest Arkansas.
