In 2019, a playful flock formation of 500 light elements filled the air of Theater Aan de Slinger in Houten, The Netherlands. The light sculpture, created by Studio Toer, is a continues line drawing that fills up the space, but the open structure doesn’t block the daylight that comes from the top windows.
