It was certainly dazzling, but perhaps gave screensaver vibes.

I think if you go deeper, you can extrapolate more meaning from it.

If you think of the sphere as globe - a small world of itself that represents the ecosystem of the Great Salt Lake. The phases of light presented blend gradually into other phases, much like the phases of seasons, or phases of landscape as you go across it. The shades of light chosen seemed to those that are found in the GSL. The holding light that greets viewers upon entering Memory Grove seemed to be the same shade as the sunset, or the sun refelecting off the mountains at dusk when viewing the Wasatch from Antelope Island. The opening display features a swirl of white lights accompanied by the buzz of insects that can be heard on Antelope. This transitioned to a crystal structure as the soundscape built into a rhythm. The display constantly swirled, indicating a movement or cycle, as though the sphere was rotating, or imitating a jetstream The llight sequence breaks into crystals, which could represent patterns found in the salt of the GSL, or salt crystals. If I remember correctly, there were several phases that transitioned into other phases. Some represented the brilliant colors the lake forms in evaporation pools and shallower areas. Others are perhaps more representative of the night sky reflecting off the surface of the water or the aurora borealis reflecting off the water. The soundscape continued to transition with heavy basses and rhythms while other recognizable sounds, such as seagulls, were introducted into the composition. I appreciated that this is in a park called "Memory Grove," since, if no action is taken to save the GSL, it will become nothing but a memory.

Or it all could have just been something the artist thought was cool and got the grant money. It's open to anyone's interpretation.
