CLOUD is an interactive sculpture created by Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett. It was recently was displayed at the
Nuit Blanche arts festival in Calgary on September 15th.
The sculpture is constructed from 6,000 light bulbs that are both functioning and burnt-out as well as steel, metal and pull strings.
Something interesting to note (and what I really like about this project) is that all of the burnt-out bulbs were donated.
The website for the project states that "CLOUD asks the viewer to participate by experiencing the work first hand – standing beneath the structure and pulling lights on and off, creating the flickering aesthetic of an electrical cloud".
I think CLOUD is absolutely beautiful--especially because of how much the general public was involved with the building stages as well as the display itself.
Whoa! Very cool! It really does look like flickering lightning.
