Bay Bridge Turned Into World's Largest Light Sculpture

On Thursday night the light sculptor and programmer extraordinaire Leo Villareal took to the stage at the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco to explain how he turned the Bay Bridge into a work of digital art. Forty-eight hours earlier the artist had launched The Bay Lights, a massive LED installation running 1.8 miles across the western span of the bridge. With 25,000 white LEDs affixed to about five miles of vertical cabling, The Bay Lights has been called the world's largest light sculpture.
