Poi Light Show

Poi: Light painting with music


"Poi" is Maori, meaning "balls". It's a juggling discipline, where two balls on a string are rotated around the player's hands. These Poi are a bit different: the string is replaced by LEDs, allowing to paint with light in the darkness.
Add some music and basic dancing capabilities into the mix, and you got a party with an elaborate light painting show, as seen at GPN21 and a few other Chaos Events.

Music: "Photonic Conductor", a studio mix by CouchSofa.

Content Notes

Blinking lights in the darkness: a photosensitivity/epilepsy warning applies.

Ummm ... I like to build and play Poi?
