Is This Artist's Use of Programming in Light Sculptures Revolutionary?

[karankanodia]

I found this video of an Artist who is programming lightings to make sculpture. Thought this would interest some of you.

I wish to write a blog post around it.

Thanks,

Welcome to the PF.

Is there some way to fast forward through it? I'm not interested in the long speaking part -- just in seeing the art. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Which is your favorite? Do you know what kind of lights he uses? Some look too big to be LEDs.

I like the Multiverse one which is at the National Gallery of Art in NY. It seems like you are in space walking with shooting stars. From what I know, all his lights are LEDs but I could be wrong.
