The Square Eclipse 2006 uses 24 micro-controlled tri-colour LEDs that are carefully positioned behind the unit to create clean geometric patterns of light and shadow. This piece brings the focus from the center of the unit to its perimeter, creating kaleidoscopic patterns that take advantage of light's additive colour properties. As coloured contours from one LED intersect with the coloured contours from other LEDs, they create new patterns and colours that morph and change as the animation is played.
