STORM ENDING

Clouds etched onto plexiglass panels set in wood, lit with LED light strips.

Driven by Arduino Circuit Boards, the lights toggled on and off to simulate lightning in response to a thunderstorm playing over loudspeakers (see video below). As with a natural thunderstorm, the timing of the lightning flashes was programmed to vary in relation to the thunderclaps as the storm moved off into the distance.
