INTERACTIVE ART CLOUD

The interactive art i had chosen is the  CLOUD is a large scale interactive installation by artist Caitlind r.c. Brown that appeared September 15th as part of Nuit Blanche Calgary in Alberta, Canada.  .CLOUD, is a large-scale light installation crafted from steel, metal, and over 6,000 glass (not wood) light bulbs, only 1,000 of which actually work. The majority of the structure is pieced together with working and burnt out incandescent bulbs that were donated to the artist and re purposed for the project. Visitors to the installation could pull the chains causing the cloud to sort of shimmer and flicker. Guests interact with the piece, exploring the structure while drawing the pull-chains that turn the lights on and off. A video  website captures the piece as it was meant to be experienced, with a huddled group of visitors attempting to turn all of the lights on and off at the same time, enjoying the late-night party.

Because it is beautiful and it can easily grabs attention out of curiosity to tried it out.Having to be a six thousand light bulb display it attracts attention  while the shape of the clouds adds  my favours as it looks imaginative and simply a work of art as the arrangement of the bulb forms the cloud and as it flickers its beautifull plus the never ending urges to see it all light up at once has made every pulling the switches.
