Of all the many, many LED projects out there, this is one of the more interesting/impressive ones that I’ve seen. Maybe it’s the video with its dramatic music, but regardless, it seems like a well-executed, elegant installation. Certainly the scale is much larger than your typical hobbyist project. It consists of several 81 cm cubes of LEDs, controlled by a computer through six XMOS ethernet boards talking to the various LED modules. It lights up and is pretty, and despite the glut of blinky matrices of lights to be found on the internet, is a genuinely compelling piece.
