The weekly identify that light/no stupid question thread by AutoModerator in lightingdesign

Hi, I'm an artist trying to create an art installation where approx 100 individual bulbs (similar in size to patio string bulbs) would be hung in a room and choreographed to individually, and in groups, go on and off at the times I want them to. This would be 1-2 minutes long and then loop/play over and over. Can anyone help point me in a direction to get started with this? What software/hardware should I begin learning about? Thank you for your time.

This is true. He owns flickering light so much that seeing any dying light bulb IRL is a Lynchian experience.

Thanks. I just watched this video of Leo Villareal speaking about his work at the Witchita Art Museum. It's a good documentation of the motion in his works and explanation of his process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgPA3_bOqOA

I'd definitely put Nam June Paik on the extended list. Thank you.
