A spotlight is mounted on the ceiling of a room. Computerized controls guide the white beam of light at random through the room. The work was originally made for the empty exhibition room in the Kunstverein Wolfsburg, before the architecture in the room was altered. In the work's second phase, the beam of light "followed" the construction process.
