Field of Light - near Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Australia

A very small part of the incredible Field of Light art installation, by famed artist Bruce Munro. This installation is solar powered, and uses color-shifting LEDs with many km of plastic fiberoptic cables to illuminate the small spheres across the desert terrain.

 

The optical fibers, seen here, radiate out from a large number of distribution hubs that emit and control the light color and intensity using microcontrollers. The section seen here represents perhaps 10-20% of the total installation.

 

The complete installation comprises nearly 5 hectares and 50,000 light globes.
