Troika art and design studio have come up with an incredible animated sculpture for British Airways in Heathrow’s new Terminal 5. ‘Cloud’ is a five-meter long work of art that is covered in 4,638 flip-dots that can be individually programmed to create stunning visual effects. The flip-dots also generate the sound of old airport signs that is so reminiscent of travel.

The sculpture resides in the atrium hall in T5 leading to BA’s first class lounges. It displays beautiful, calming movements much like schools of fish swimming about or the ripples and waves in water. The flip-dots alternate rapidly between black and silver to create just about any desired effect.

Check out the videos below to see the incredible ‘Cloud’ in action, plus a look at just how they managed to install it.
