I found this kinetic light bulb sculpture presented by Build UP LLC (a kinetic art distributor company in UAE) very interesting. Although the idea of color-changing light bulbs moving up and down is not as mind-blowing these days as to the past, I find the concept of generating certain shapes or motions through the moving light bulbs interesting.

So far any installations that used a set of light bulbs attached to a string from the ceiling that I’ve seen either remained static or just moved up and down, creating an impression of shining particles. However, what they have done instead is arranging the light bulbs such that it looks like it’s part of the interior design and/or is moving in a satisfying mathematical motion.

These are some screenshots from the video:
