According to Deezen, "Each LED is connected to a computerized system, which relays a combination of around 50 different patterns of light and color." There is a crowd-sourced aspect to this installation as the light show can be controlled by a smartphone or tablet with an easily accessible program for download. The silent space provides the festival revelers with a look beyond the festival's music scene incorporating the forward-thinking work of the Spanish designer and his firm 'Borealis.' The Dome by Hector Serrano was inspired by the [Pantheon dome in Rome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hata-dome).
