Kuka Robot Arms are typically used to assemble cars but in this case, it’ll be used to bend and twist to correspond with the specific points users decide to light up. In order to complete the monument, there needs to be 54,000 different points of light.
All users will have to do is log into Facebook and pick a point and watch the Kuka Robot do the rest. Leaving the hard labour to the robots is always fun. [Wired]

Why don’t they just use the coordinates to plot dots in 3D space with a drawing program?

“light art” is only good for quick improvised shots with say, a laser pointer. But this is just pointless.
