Event Horizon by Ben Bartlett from San Francisco CA Event Horizon is a giant audio-reactive LED kinetic sculpture evoking a sense of cosmic beauty. Five concentric rings, up to 20ft in diameter, chaotically spin around a central spherical infinity mirror resembling a black hole, which is held perfectly still by a beautiful trick of mathematics. Beneath the rings, is a partially enclosed space surrounded by shimmering walls of light – a space to reflect, a space to wonder, or a space to dance. The entire sculpture is also audio reactive: when it hears a nearby musical presence like an art car, it converts into a cosmological dance floor that pulses to the beat!
