For the second time this month, but with a little more pizazz, the Empire State Building flexed its fancy new Philips Colour Kinetics LED lighting system muscles for its first-ever light show last night. A myriad of colours sprinkled the sky perfectly in sync with Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” and “Empire State of Mind”.
The new system can display more than 16 million colours in a variety of ways as evidenced by last night’s show. Earlier this month during the presidential election, CNN commandeered the ESB to display election results.
It’s pretty neat that the ESB has entered into a new era but it kinda makes me think it belongs in Vegas now. [Gawker]
