This was my personal favorite exhibit at burning man but I think it was most other people's (that I talked to) as well. This bush is the actual size of a rose bush made of hand worked copper and blown glass. Those are photovoltaic cells within the leaves you are looking at. Each glass rose has several bulbs of different color. Durning the day the cells charge a battery(in the roots)and a sequencer causes the flowers to "bloom" different colors during the night. I can not convey the beauty of watching this. I never got to meet the artist god/goddess that created this but I want it.

Yeah, wot 'e said. I have to check the slides on these, it may be that my scanning service sucks, it may be that viewing images on my el-cheapo laptop screen isn't an optimal strategy, but my night-time images didn't come out well and these don't do it justice:
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
