Desert Botanical Garden multi-sensory art exhibit: Desert Pulse

Desert Botanical Garden is hosting a new exhibit titled Desert Pulse—a multi-sensory art exhibition by London-based artists ScanLAB Projects. The Desert Pulse exhibit features five monumental video installations composed of thousands of high-resolution images. This transformative experience explores the pulse of the desert through photography, motion, and sound to awaken a deeper appreciation of the desert.

Desert Pulse premiered on Oct. 11, 2025, and will last through May 10, 2026. The exhibit captures a year of transformation across Phoenix, the Garden, and the Sonoran Desert using cutting-edge 3D scanning technology. ScanLAB documents the subtle shifts of cactus blooms, sediment flows, and seasonal change, inviting visitors to see the desert through a new lens.

Laura Best, Senior Director of Exhibits, Desert Botanical Garden, joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk more about the exhibit and what it has to offer for visitors of Desert Botanical Garden.
