Pulsating Buildings

By Piers Fawkes on September 29, 2006

A commercial complex in Kobe has been fitted with a lighting system that translates cosmic energy waves into pulsating blue light. Pink Tentacle reports:

Called “Super Nova,” the lighting system consists of 2,880 blue LEDs arranged in two columns spanning the height of the 18-story building’s west wall. The embedded lights are activated by sensors that detect cosmic rays. According to Takuro Osaka, the University of Tsukuba Graduate School professor who designed the system, the brightness of the blue lights fluctuates according to the intensity of the detected cosmic rays, giving the building an ever-changing magical glow.
