8,100 LEDs in a spinning 84" diameter sphere

DESCRIPTION

Tungsten is a kinetic LED sculpture. Around a vertical shaft are 30 semicircular hoops of aluminum. Each of these has 270 full-color LEDs facing outward. When the shaft spins, a computer system keeps track of the angle of the shaft and changes the colors of the LEDs at just the right time to present a static image that appears to hover in mid-air (making use of the eye's persistence-of-vision characteristic).
