The Fireflies is a 14"x12" video installation containing one light emitting diode per square inch. Flear's objective was to create an organic and ambient piece operated by a surprisingly complex formula underneath.
John's work explores the emergence of complex collective patterns from simple individual behavior. His work is heavily influenced by Thomas Schelling, the 2005 Nobel prize laureate in Economics. Small changes in individual behavior often cause big changes in resulting interactions. John uses computers to simulate living environments. He programs the individual behaviors of the artificial organisms and lets them create their own ecologies and patterns. The results are fascinating and sometimes unexpected.
Flear's work is available for $770 from Bit Editions.

Hm, this could be very beautiful element of the room design. But isn't the price is too high?
The site linked sells the item marked down to $350. Honestly that still seems pricy to me.
