Quand on a une bonne idée, une ampoule s&#x2019;illumine au dessus de nos têtes. Rien de bien compliqué, c&#x2019;est juste une illumination. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsqu&#x2019;on a des milliers de bonnes idées à la seconde ? Quand on en a 6000 exactement ? Ce n&#x2019;est plus vraiment une épiphanie, c&#x2019;est plus proche de _CLOUD_, l&#x2019;installation interactive des canadiens [Catlind r.c. Brown et Wayne Garrett.](http://incandescentcloud.com/)

Rien de très compliqué et pourtant incroyablement dure à mettre en place, _CLOUD_ est une sculpture lumineuse composée de 6000 ampoules d&#x2019;où pendent 6000 petites chaines comme autant d&#x2019;interrupteurs. Imaginée en 2012 pour le festival Nuit Blanche à Calgary, l&#x2019;installation à depuis fait le tour du monde. On l&#x2019;attend avec impatience chez nous.  En attendant, on vous laisse découvrir ça en images et en vidéo ci-dessous :

CLOUD is a large-scale interactive sculpture created from 6,000 light bulbs (new and burnt out) by Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett. The piece utilizes everyday domestic light bulbs and pull strings, re-imagining their potential to create wonder and inspire collaboration. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from the surrounding community, forging an informal relationship with non-artists, reducing costs, and asking audiences to reconsider household items in an alternative context. During exhibition, viewers interact with CLOUD by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to turn the entire sculpture on and off.

How CLOUD works: The hand-bent steel substructure of the sculpture is covered in a skin of incandescent light bulbs (new and burnt out), and rear-lit from within by 250 compact fluorescent bulbs, pulling a total power of approximately 20 amps (the equivalent of two household outlets). Each of these bulbs is attached to a pull-string, allowing viewers to control the illumination of the structure – like lightning in the CLOUD above them.

Editions of CLOUD have appeared at Nuit Blanche Calgary (Canada) and Garage Center for Contemporary Culture as the centerpiece of Art Experiment 2013 (Moscow, Russia). A third evolution of the sculpture was created in June 2013 in Chicago, USA. Entitled CLOUD CEILING, this rendition is a permanent installation (sans pull-chains) in Progress Bar, utilizing motion sensors and over 15,000 light bulbs.

Sponsors: Alberta College of Art + Design, The Nuit Blanche Foundation, The City of Calgary, Calgary Arts Development Authority, Calgary Public Arts, Calgary 2012, and The Awesome Foundation (Calgary chapter).
