Installation art piece at the National Gallery of Art with thousands of white LEDs by Villareal. The sign read:
LEO VILLAREAL American, b. 1967 Multiverse, 2008 light emitting diodes (LEDs), Mac mini, and electronic circuitry On load from the artist Courtesy Conner Contemporary Art, Washington DC -------------------- The moving walkway between the East and West Buildings has taken on a new dimension with the addition of a site- specific LED sculpture by artist Leo Villareal. About 41,000 LEDs were inserted in the vaulted architecture of the walk- way. The artist then programmed the electronic circuitry to form kinetic configurations of white light conveying associations ranging from artificial life to organic form. The programming both instructs the lights and allows for an element of chance. While it is possible that a pattern wil repeat during a viewer's experience, it is unlikely. This sculpture will be on view until November 2009.

Please do not touch the sculpture or the metal slats.
