“Global Rainbow” by Yvette Mattern is a massive scale outdoor light projection in which seven high power lasers project a rainbow light beam for up to five miles. The projection was originally displayed in New York in 2009, and is currently on tour through the United Kingdom in celebration of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
