Light Machine (2016) is Veilhan’s largest light machine to date, a series of works he started developing in 2001. It contains 1536 custom made light bulbs, 25cm in diameter, that contain a total of 6144 LED lights.
The device does not project light, but generates it. The wall broadcasts a film in a definition that has been reduced to the same number of pixels as there are spheres.;
