i couldn’t upload a video so it’s a link
What on earth is that… Thing 😄😄😄
I remember seeing a video of a light display in Cuba. They couldn’t get much in the way of controllers so they used a rotating drum of electrical contacts to open and close circuits for animation effects. This looks very similar to that. Pretty ingenious but totally unsafe.

@yogurtwrong I’m impressed they don’t have problems with it glitching out, especially with the electromechanical part of the lightshow close by which appears to be switching 230V mains directly on those open metal contacts!
Looks like Wintergatan went electric
How the . Is this not catching fire? Or at least failing quickly with all those sparks eating the contacts away?
Arcs don’t need to be high current. But this will absolutely fail at some point, how soon is a question.
