Very cool, thanks. Somehow reminds me of this guy's great "3D-display cube" project.

Very neat!!

I want one!! Kinda like a Lava-lamp but with bubble patterns...

Except that in the video, the bubble maker seems loud...

Chunka-chunka-chunka....

Doesn't seem like I could just zone out to it after a few good hits of Northern Lights #1... the noise is too distracting...

Good concept, refined and smaller, and it's a million dollar idea.

Sweet. The idea of having changing 3d artwork is quite modern. Only a small handfull people have moving art work on display at home (not including the TV).
The use of light and water can be very hypnotic.

Unless your parents had a rain motion oil sculpture lamp thing...

Also, very hypnotic... Mesmorized for hours!!

There's a museum somewhere -- I want to say the St. Paul Museum of Science -- that has a sculpture in the lobby consisting of giant clear acrylic pipes. Bubbles are released into the pipes in various patterns by a computer. The effect is a giant upward-scrolling dot matrix. It's pretty cool.
