When working on interactive art project Jellyfish 12,000, I thought a lot about possible display technologies for our 8′-diameter dome before we settled on the design we chose. One option that had a lot of appeal was a persistence of vision (POV) design: rather than 36 ribs containing 136 lights each, we could produce similar functionality by rotating one, two, three, or four such ribs, depending on the speed we could achieve, around the dome. Ultimately this design concept was abandoned for this implementation due to our sentimental concern for the life and limb of our passengers.

Thanks, Alice, for the link.

Brave and beautiful. And sparks — oh, the sparks.

This is an inspirational marriage of art and technology. It seems improbable that it could serve any truly functional purpose; so much the better.
