Moving Neon Cube

Moving Neon Cube consists of twelve neon cubes chained together in the shape of a large square on the ground. The cubes are angled at their junctions so as to give the impression that one cube is turning from one side to the next until it ends up on the same side as it started out from. The individual cubes light up momentarily in turn so that it looks as if a glowing cube were actually moving through the square in a continuous loop.
