Looking to bring a little new-wave pizazz to their understandably high traffic Heathrow Terminal 5, British Airways commissioned UK art and design studio <a href="http://troika.uk.com/troika%20news01.htm"><font color="#00ffff">Troika</font></a> to create &#8220;Cloud&#8221;.</p>

<p>Suspended in the air between 4 escalators and 2 concourses, the 5-metre long digital sculpture is covered with 4638 individually controlled flip dots. Silver on one side and black on the other, a computer controls the sculpture creating an almost organic, living skin. The versatility and subtlety of the movement is amazing. It&#8217;s almost hypnotic and it&#8217;s totally got to be seen to be believed:</p>
