This fall, roam a world outside time as acclaimed studio Klip Collective uses light, sound, and state-of-the-art projection mapping to transform acres of Ozark nature into a never-before-seen journey across time and space.
Designed exclusively for the museum’s North Forest, this outdoor, site-responsive experience features six immersive installations for you and your crew to explore. Witness the natural rhythms of the Earth brought to life, see yourself fractured across the surface of a broken time machine, marvel together at the movements of the forest in a landscape of light, and more.
Backed by a custom soundtrack and open during the Ozarks’ most beautiful season, Time Loop truly offers an outdoor experience unlike any in Northwest Arkansas.
Note: Some artworks in this experience contain light effects. Viewing discretion is advised for visitors with sensitivity to visual light stimulation. Hosts at each installation can provide more information.

Klip Collective uses a unique synthesis of projection mapping, lighting, and sound design to create site-specific, immersive sensory experiences.
Klip formed in 2003 seeing the potential in projection mapping as a means to animate our mundane built environments with large-scale random acts of art and shared public performances, drawing inspiration from the Street art, Situationist and Surrealist movements. Klip became an experiential partner sought by many brands, agencies and cultural institutions; most notably for the invention, innovation and early adaptation of projection mapping. After a decade of practice, Klip focused on creating longform, multi-installation, meditative, articulated light, video and sound art experiences.
Led by self-taught artist and projection pioneer Ricardo Rivera, Klip is an adhocracy of creative professionals. Our collective includes digital artists, sound designers, composers, creative producers, fabricators and technologists creating together under a unified vision to produce a multi-tiered immersive experience. Klip’s studio fosters artistic experimentation, technological innovation and collaboration to keep the collective exploring new ideas, evolving light as an art form, and building creative partnerships.
