The ‘(ultra) light network’ is a light-emitting, lightweight, three-dimensional tetrahedral mesh of 10m x 6m x 3m. It features more than 50,000 individually addressable LED pixels that react to an algorithm running on five microcontrollers, which respond to the presence of visitors using three ultrasonic sensors located at the bases of the structure.

The lighting exhibition encompasses a hyper-redundancy element that enables the structure to absorb stresses and evenly respond to expansion, contraction and loads such as wind or other eventual punctual forces. This creates a mesmerizing lighting show, that’s impossible to miss.
