Installation: Luminous Earth Grid



This looks like a special effect from Oblivion... like the surface of the Earth is being scanned from orbit.  It's an array of 1,680 energy-efficient fluorescent lamps arranged across an area roughly the size of eight football fields, located just fifty miles north of San Francisco.  Williams says, "I see the project as a poetic statement on the potential harmony between technology and nature."

Over the past five years, Williams has raised nearly half a million dollars to bring this massive project to fruition.  It has been critically acclaimed, drawing tens of thousands of visitors.
