Rotating LEDs reveal the moon as art subject and inspiration

The moon has always been there for us, providing illumination and marking time while inspiring mankind in art, science and space exploration. Taipei-based studio Whyixd is presenting a new way of looking at it with an installation called #define Moon _. It consists of nine rotating LED installations that emulate the full, waxing, waning and seasonal phases of our satellite. You get different experiences of it depending on the angle of view. Seen from the side, you get all the the phases of the moon, as if taken by a time lapse photographer. Looking at it on end, meanwhile, you see a circular view that's much more three-dimensional.
