CLOUD is a large-scale interactive sculpture created from 6,000 light bulbs (new and burnt out) by Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown & Wayne Garrett. The piece utilizes everyday domestic light bulbs and pull strings, re-imagining their potential to create wonder and inspire collaboration. As part of the process of creating the sculpture, the artists collected burnt out incandescent light bulbs from the surrounding community, forging an informal relationship with non-artists, reducing costs, and asking audiences to reconsider household items in an alternative context. During exhibition, viewers interact with CLOUD by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to turn the entire sculpture on and off.

How CLOUD works: The hand-bent steel substructure of the sculpture is covered in a skin of incandescent light bulbs (new and burnt out), and rear-lit from within by 250 compact fluorescent bulbs, pulling a total power of approximately 20 amps (the equivalent of two household outlets). Each of these bulbs is attached to a pull-string, allowing viewers to control the illumination of the structure – like lightning in the CLOUD above them.

Editions of CLOUD have appeared at Nuit Blanche Calgary (Canada) and Garage Center for Contemporary Culture as the centerpiece of Art Experiment 2013 (Moscow, Russia). A third evolution of the sculpture was created in June 2013 in Chicago, USA. Entitled CLOUD CEILING, this rendition is a permanent installation (sans pull-chains) in Progress Bar, utilizing motion sensors and over 15,000 light bulbs.

Sponsors: Alberta College of Art + Design, The Nuit Blanche Foundation, The City of Calgary, Calgary Arts Development Authority, Calgary Public Arts, Calgary 2012, and The Awesome Foundation (Calgary chapter).

CLOUD是一个大型互动雕塑，由加拿大艺术家Caitlind r.c.Brown&Wayne Garrett用6000个灯泡（新灯泡和烧坏的灯泡）创作而成。该作品利用日常家用灯泡和拉线，重新想象他们创造奇迹和激发合作的潜力。作为雕塑创作过程的一部分，艺术家们从周围社区收集烧坏的白炽灯泡，与非艺术家建立非正式关系，降低成本，并要求观众在另一种背景下重新考虑家居用品。在展览期间，观众通过发起即兴合作与云互动，作为一个集体来打开和关闭整个雕塑。

云的工作原理：雕塑的手工弯曲的钢底座被一层白炽灯泡（新的和烧坏的）覆盖，后部由250个紧凑型荧光灯泡从内部照亮，总功率约为20安培（相当于两个家用插座）。每一个灯泡都被连接到一根拉线上，这样观众就可以控制建筑物的照明，就像上面云层中的闪电一样。

《云》的版本已经出现在努伊特布兰奇卡尔加里（加拿大）和车库当代文化中心，作为2013年艺术实验的中心（俄罗斯莫斯科）。2013年6月，这座雕塑在美国芝加哥进行了第三次升级，名为“云顶”，它是一个永久性的安装（无拖链）进度条，使用了运动传感器和15000多个灯泡。

主办单位：阿尔伯塔艺术+设计学院、努伊特布兰奇基金会、卡尔加里市、卡尔加里艺术发展局、卡尔加里公共艺术、卡尔加里2012年和Awesome基金会（卡尔加里分会）。
