Massive Installation Utilizes 41,000 LEDs



Multiverse, a massive installation by American artist Leo Villareal features approximately 41,000 LED nodes that run through a 200-foot-long tunnel in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.. As passerbyers move between the East and West buildings on an airport style people mover, the zillions of lights flickr on and off over head creating rhythmic patterns and abstract configurations.  The custom designed software also has an element of chance built into it, so it’s unlikely that anyone will see the same routine twice.  The project is Villareal’s largest and most ambitious work to date and will be on display through 2009.
