CD cloud

I just realised I have n't posted a picture of the grand design. You'll just have to keep checking back and watch it unfold.

CD mechanism for the moving cloud on the mural wall.

Some of you have heard me speaking about a CD cloud. A way to reuse, recycle re-purpose CD's and have them actively moving and generating light, reflections and adding a huge amount to the space. So I've had this idea since the start of the project nearly. I think it will work brilliantly. It comprises of a CD, raw plug, screw and washer.
The inspiration for this came from a big advertising sign that I noticed in my youth - do you remember the Guinness sign on the railway bridge beside Butt Bridge in Dublin? I'm trying to find a photograph of it but no success yet. Advertising at it's most expensive in the 70's and 80's. The sign used to shimmer because it was made of these tiny little disc's with holes in them and nailed to the sign. They operated like sequences, I always found it fascinating and wondered who originally nailed all those disc's and nails in!
So the cloud on the mural wall it shimmers and moves about and well see this little video on my Facebook page. When the full cloud is up I'll make a film of the moving bits and place that on the blog.
I'm really excited to see what it looks like up, shimmering on the wall - tomorrow!
