In the building's central atrium, Xenakis erected a web of suspended steel cables that were interwoven in order to form five curved shapes or sails, stretching from the first floor to the ceiling six floors above. Attached to these cables were 1200 strobe lights, 800 of which were white, and 400 colored. The lights were individually controlled by a film which caused them to be triggered twenty-five times per second, allowing Xenakis to create a six-minute series of configurations that resulted in moving patterns and shapes, all characterized by a sense of visual continuity. The composer recalled: "I had a cloud of lights in space with which I could carry out the same operations as with clouds of sound."
