A 'SWARM' of LEDs Immerses a Dancer in Light
The Creators Project: Over 2,000 delicate LEDs fill the Olympus Photography Playground in artist collective Neon Golden’s SWARM, the lights' soft, electric emissions buzzing through the 850-cubed-foot space in Vienna. Engineered with a combination of Arduino, Cinema 4D, Raspberry Pi, and Processing, the audiovisual installation reacts to movement, placing its visitors inside a colorful, carefully coded 3D environment.

I think that whole experience was very cool. Normally with dance pieces there are normal size lights lighting from many angles. It was very interesting that there were a lot of tiny lights all around him. I like how he was able to move the lights and push them around. They became part of the piece as a second dancer dancing with him. It is so cool that the lights react to the movement of the person around them. Lights are usually controlled by a board or are preprogrammed to do certain things. This new technology would be interesting to see in theatre or another form of entertainment. The lights create a whole experience that goes with the performance and movement around them. Those lights are probably very fragile so they would not be good for an intense dance piece. I would love to see more exhibits using this type of technology in the future.
