This is Stratus 10, an interactive, kinetic laser sculpture by laser artist Mike Gould. Six lasers illuminate the atrium of the JW Marriott hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The laser light is controlled by a visitor via a Kinect box, which translates their movement into changes in the display.

Demo of the Stratus 10 laser display
(4.7M 300dpi)
Blurb:
A demonstration/test of the Stratus 10 laser display in the atrium of the JW Marriott Hotel in Grand Rapids for ArtPrize 2012. Shown is a 24-story atrium wall onto which is projected the output of six powerful lasers, run through carefully-designed optical gizmos. The display will be under control of a Kinect system, which will allow visitors to control the brightness and speed of the patterns with their movements.

This is a recording of the prototype laser projector, which gives you a rough idea of what the final display looked like. Due to aspect ratio issues, the display here is running left to right; the final image will be running bottom to top. Imagine this 16 feet wide by 250 feet tall...
