Elisa from New York based studioBRAD has been in touch with news of their latest project, "BOOM". 

An interactive light installation installed in the ceiling of  Up & Down  New York Nightclub.

Below is a spectacular showcase of the installation.

"BOOM, an Interactive Light Installation by studioBRAD is located within 

the newly opened NYC hotspot, Up & Down Nightclub. 

The installation consists of a series of hanging pyramids with over 900 LEDs capable 

of over 16.8 million colors and patterns, creating a constantly new viewing experience for onlookers.

BOOM is specifically designed to produce patterns that are generative and unique.The timing of color

change is programmed and capable of responding to music in the nightclub as well as to people walking 

underneath the install. The patterns can be updated and changed throughout the life of the club.

The series of plexiglass pyramids, 1600 in total, were hand sanded to allow for a translucent glow. 

Each pyramid contains 4 separate arrays of 6 LEDs, wired to custom electronics that allow each pyramid face 

to light a specific color. Allowing for the patterns within the piece to change based on the angle of the 

viewer. The experience of the piece is designed to envelop viewers more and more as they walk down 

the stairs below."
