Patrick Murphy, Executive Director, ILDA
Mike Gould is one of the most imaginative and original artists of all of the members of the International Laser Display Association. He has a special magic with wispy, abstract laser lumia effects. And he has a special affinity for educating and exciting children and youths about light and lasers. I can highly commend Mike and his team to anyone looking to bring a unique artistic and/or educational vision to their event.

Fawn Clarke-Peterson, Waubonsee Community College
We had an ABSOLUTE BLAST with Mike and his Illuminauts! Our event was a spectacular success with everyone from little kids, to grandmas, and everyone in between out there laughing and dancing their hearts out as they engaged with this larger than life installation. Mike and his crew were fabulous, flexible, and positively delightful to work with. Overall, Illuminatus Lasers provided a deliciously unique event that brought HEAPS OF JOY to our community. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your experience, knowledge, and wonderful creativity with us!

Nan Masland, Director Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque Balloon Museum
It brought me such joy to see your laser artwork each morning of Balloon Fiesta™.

Stephanie McIntyre, WonderFool Productions - YpsiGLOW 2022
What an absolutely wonderful night it was and we are beyond grateful to have had Illuminatus back. Your installation was a HUGE hit!

Sheri Brown, WonderFool Productions (FoolMoon and ypsiGLOW)
Mike's interactive art has been exceptionally engaging. He's created a joyful, educational, colorful experience for our participants; there were long lines waiting to play with it even before sundown at our last event in the Ann Arbor Farmers Market (2019).

Mike and his band of illuminators have always been on time and ready to go at the event, braving rain, snow, sleet, 20MPH winds and 3-year-olds to deliver a spectacular laser-driven experience for our event. He is easy to work with, open to new ideas, and very communicative as plans change and deadlines approach.

Mel Drumm, Director Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum
On behalf of the entire Ann Arbor Hands-On team, I wish to thank Mike Gould and his amazing team of laser artists for participating in our 2019 TechTwilight event. This was their second installation at the Museum and it was engaging, creative, and an artistic success beyond compare. Working with Mike and his entire team was a pleasure. They went above and beyond to partner with us even where their schedule was booked solid with other events. We look forward to welcoming them back for future events.

Jennifer Gill, Public Art Manager, Scottsdale Public Art (Canal Convergence)
Canal Convergence 2019 brought 295,000 people to the Scottsdale Waterfront over the course of the event and featured 18 public art installations created by local, national, and international artists, including Soleri, So Laser by Mike Gould. In addition to presenting his highly interactive and visually engaging artwork, Gould gave an artist talk and multiple “DIY Laser” workshops both at the event, and as a part of our community engagement at local schools during the week of Canal Convergence.

As the Public Art Manager for the event, I was impressed with Gould's professionalism and communication in the months leading up to Canal Convergence. The installation, event activation, and deinstallation all went smoothly and according to plan, and we would be delighted to have Gould propose a new project for Canal Convergence in the future.
