This is an interactive sculpture installation that is meant show entropy. Eventually you will find a point in the space in which you feel the calmest in relation to the floating light object. As you approach the object, the light intensifies until a threshold is crossed and the light goes out.

This uses a scanning LIDAR sensor from a Neato XV-11 robot vacuum cleaner connected to a Raspberry Pi for processing the data.
