Dezeen promotion: Czech glass and lighting brand Lasvit has created a responsive installation made up of 328 star-shaped light bulbs, which hangs from the ceiling of a university auditorium in Thailand.
Lasvit crafted the 18-metre-long sculpture ? titled Neurons ? for Prince Mahidol Hall, which serves as an events venue for Mahidol University.

"Just as universities are the bearing points of progress, education and enlightenment wherever they exist in the world, a neuron is a carrier of information, thoughts and light within a human body," explained Lasvit designer Jana R??i?ková.
The dynamic sculpture uses advanced LED technology to activate the bulbs, which are encapsulated in hand-made glass components, acting as a visual companion alongside the harmonies of music playing in the space.
The intensity of each bulb can be controlled individually, allowing for a variety of multi-coloured light sequences that are programmed to change depending on the pace of the music.
Microphones placed on the podium in the concert hall are used to capture and relay sounds back to the installation.
Neurons' responsive functionality is powered by an algorithm which was written by a team at Lasvit, who tested and analysed different styles of music at the site.
