"Round Rainbow" Olafur Eliasson, 2005

Click here to see a grainy video of Eliasson's sculpture.

Like some Lynchian experiment, only through light. Simple and compellingly intricate: a crystal(?) ring spins in front of a framed spotlight, slowly bending unified streaks of refracted light and rainbow eclipses that never break or blink. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album cover if it could dance.
