Dr. Brown designed Lyrical Mezzanine exhibitions as multimedia conceptual art  shows online and live in virtual reality, or offline in 3D. Lyrical Mezzanine artwork introduces components that viewers can visualize or touch, enhancing the multiple senses involved in the exhibition. Thus, ‘feeling’ is emphasized comprehensively – literally and figuratively.
