This stunning digital, sculptural work by artists Rafael Lozano-Hemmer was commissioned by Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia for the 2010 Light in Winter festival. Five projectors animated the world’s largest spherical balloon, depicting live mathematic equations representing real activity on the sun, using new advances in astronomy. As well as raising questions around global warming, the work created a poetic space, evoking mythologies of the sun prevalent in many cultures.
