Stormy Street Art Rains Digitally During Paris's Nuit Blanche

by Amar Toor on December 16, 2009 at 05:02 PM


Every year in Paris, the city treats itself to a Nuit Blanche, or all-nighter, when all the museums stay open till all hours, revelers stroll in the streets, and artists and art flood the city. For this year's festivities, SUPERBIEN, a French creative agency based in Paris, created a trippy little "atmospheric event" called "Le Nuage" (The Cloud) that can be seen after the jump. With its flashes of neon-colored lightening and thunderous sound effects, "Le Nuage" makes a Skittle hailstorm seem imminent. We're not sure how they did it, but it seems like some arrangement of LEDs and LSD . If one thing's for sure, it makes thunderstorms look a lot less scary and shows us that a cloud's lining doesn't always have to be silver. [From: Objetgraphik]
