The Two Best Things I Saw Today

Swarm Light, by rAndom International...

'Swarm Light' by rAndom International / Design Miami / Art Basel 2010 from rAndom International on Vimeo.


From the Vimeo page:
The ‘Swarm Light‘ is an experimental light installation with a real ‚collective consciousness’ that subtly reacts to the viewer’s audible presence. The installation is a contemporary example of how the arbitrary boundaries of fine and decorative art, design and utility are no longer of immediate aesthetic relevance. An apparently inanimate object, ‘Swarm‘ unites crucial aspects of rAndom international‘s continued experimentation with light, behavioural responses and interactive spatial environments.
