Experience an immersive installation that is a tribute to the marvel of watching fireflies in nature.

Look up to see a field of 200 ‘firefly’ jars, each containing a light that will blink at random with a golden glow. When the light from one jar recognizes another glowing nearby, gradually the blinking between them synchronizes and their lights turn blue. Over time, the patterns of the blinking colors shift and flow from one end of the room to the other. Watch as the blue lights independently change back to gold creating new patterns, and then synchronize to blue again.

A custom soundscape entitled Nocturne layers in the sounds of summer insects, enhancing the flow and flicker of light and amplifying the Rhythm of Fireflies.

You can also find information about fireflies, their behaviors, habitats and ways you can help them flourish.

Spontaneous Order: The Rhythm of Fireflies is created by artist Sally Weber and optical innovator Craig Newswanger of Resonance Studio.
