    Out Of Office was on the Dutch Design Week and noticed this interactive light installation: The Fly Light of Drift Design.

    The 160 Glass tubes that lighten up and respond to the viewer are inspired by behavior from a flock of birds and the fascinating patterns they seem to make random in the air. But actually this behavior is not so accidental as it looks. Every bird has to keep a safe distance from their neighbor bird in front, below, above and next to it. They all want to fly in the middle of the group and no-one wants to be the leader flying in front. What will happen if an intruder interrupts? This is what the viewer will experience when approaching the Flylight.
