In a constant search for balance between excess and starvation, a cluster of independent light modules communicates based upon two simple rules: too little or too much light shows no reaction, while just the right amount will trigger the next module to produce more light. Depending on their initial positioning, the modules can show complex, structured and possibly surprising behaviours – or nothing at all.
