Koro Loko

Created originally for Burning Man 2019, by Utah artist Emily Nicolosi and the In Theory Art Collective, Koro Loko  is a billowing three-dimensional heart made from thousands of squares intricately woven together to create an ever-changing spectra of color, that shimmers like sequins during the day and at night.

In Theory Art Studios

In Theory Art Studios is an experiential design and creative fabrication studio based in Huntsville, Utah, specializing in monumental sculptural and architectural forms, interactive installations, and optically dynamic light environments.

The studio is directed by lead designer and artist Dr. Emily Nicolosi. Formally trained in Studio Art at the University of Vermont with a doctorate in Geography from the University of Utah, she pursues her interest in the intersection of humanity, place, and environment through her work with In Theory. Dr. Nicolosi is supported by Head of Fabrication Ian Nicolosi and a dedicated team of specialists, bringing together decades of combined experience in materials science engineering, multidiscipliary fabrication methods, advanced interactive electronics, and LED programming.

In Theory Art Studios exhibits nationally and internationally at premier events, cultural gatherings, museums, and in public spaces.The studio is the recipient of numerous awards and grants, including The Land Art Generator Initiative, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, and Burning Man's Honoraria Grant Program.

Beyond its public-facing work, the studio is deeply committed to arts education and American cultural exchange. The studio hosts structured training programs, mentoring emerging American and global professionals in sustainable fabrication, digital tooling, and spatial design.
