The video footage isn’t super, but I like the “tube” installations with syncopated texts.

I ran across a stunning Jenny Holzer installation at the Neue National Gallerie in Berlin in 2006.

According to SEGO

“The signs were programmed in mirrored text with alternating speed to work in conjunction with the building’s glass surfaces at night. Using a ratio of sign speed and letter height, the appearance of the gallery roof was made even more dramatic; visual effects simulated the roof to bow, appear concave, convex, and even twisted.”
