Firmamental Night Sky: Oculus.12, 2008
Light-emitting diodes, neoprene, animated program, control gear, structural elements, power supply and various cables
The Night Sky works by Angela Bulloch show a map of the sky and is a complex computer-controlled LED installation. The concept is based on a space travel simulation software called Celestia, a program used in planetariums. The view is from an extraterrestrial position. The lightning of the stars and planets is based on algorithms and commands that the artists programmed.
