What a way to celebrate the 4th of July! New York artist Peter Coffin collaborated with London-based Cinimod Studio, on this awesome, 7-meter UFO-ish piece of art that is remotely controlled via SMS. The aluminum structure was covered with 3,000 bright, individually controllable Color Kinetics LED lights. The UFO drew its power from a built-in 6kW generator.
The UFO made its debut on 4th July 2008 as a part of the Gdansk Festival of Stars in Poland.
Implications - Bringing this UFO to fruition was not easy. Clinimod Studio worked closely with a variety of specialist suppliers, and they monitored the progress of the UFO through regular workshop visits.
Judging from the video -- job well done.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sms-controlled Art

- Interactive Lighting Installations
- The use of individually controllable LED lights in interactive installations is a trend that creates immersive and memorable experiences for audiences.
- Collaborative Design Processes
- The trend of collaborating with specialist suppliers and monitoring progress through regular workshop visits can lead to the successful creation of innovative projects.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art and Design
- This industry can benefit from incorporating SMS-controlled art and interactive lighting installations into their exhibitions and installations to create engaging and innovative experiences for audiences.
- Event Production
- The use of SMS-controlled installations in events like festivals and concerts can provide a unique and memorable experience for attendees, increasing ticket sales and brand recognition.
- Specialty Lighting
- Companies specializing in individually controllable LED lights can capitalize on the trend of interactive lighting installations by partnering with artists and event producers to create immersive and customizable experiences for clients.
