Kaleidoscopic visuals are displayed by the stunning beauty of the '64 CCFL' installation by Nils Volker.

The Berlin-based artist is a communication designer and a graduate of the [Bauhaus University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhaus-sunset-lamp) in Weimar. He is famed for his 2010 installation for which he built a device that created paintings from the sound of cars.

Völker's passion for art translates into his latest venture that is a stunning sight of [hypnotic visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-lighting-experience). Interestingly, these [lighting fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) are normally used for backlights and computer screens. The internal light drawn from these fixtures is controlled by a power supply that dictates the height of illumination in each tube.

The installation appears to explode from the ground against a black background, and makes for an entertaining show of technology and art.
