With museum patrons developing a taste for not simply viewing art but experiencing it, the job of a modern lighting designer goes far beyond simple displays. Visionary innovators such as Jake Ludemann, Lighting Designer and Project Manager at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, not only put masterpieces in their best light, but orchestrate immersive experiences that connect visitors to the art in new ways.

Jake recently spoke with Ketra about how he came to be a lighting designer, his recent work on the Bloch Galleries within the Nelson-Atkins Museum, and how Ketra’s technology helps him create magic for museum patrons.
