The inner objects of a globe fluorescent light bulb are hollowed out and replaced with a unique electronic circuit consisting of a proximity sensor, LEDs, a geared motor, and a control circuit. In standby mode, inner LEDs flicker as if breathing, and when the viewer brings their hand close to the artwork, LEDs beat faster and the artwork rolls autonomously. A built-in battery makes viewing without the need for an external power source.
