This has been making the rounds, but with good reason! Caitlind r.c. Brown created a cloud out of 1,000 functioning and 5,000 donated burned out light bulbs for Calgary's Nuit Blanche. For those of you who don't know, Nuit Blanche (All Nighter, or literally "White Night") is an all-night public arts festival. I personally have always really been drawn to the concept of Nuit Blanches, and would love to work on one. The closest thing I personally have been to is Santa Monica's Glow, which was wonderful and an idea I really hope to see expanded on.
In Incandescent Cloud, pull strings glimmering like rain hang from the cloud. Nuit Blanche attendees could manipulate the cloud's luminosity using those strings, creating random small flickers singularly, or working in teams to pull the strings at the same time. It is a wondrous installation, and I'm sure must have been a blast at Nuit Blanche!
