Coldplay’s “Fix You” comes to mind, no?  Click the image for the video to see how it works.

‘Array’ is a field of columns set in the courtyard of the Chuya Nakahara
Memorial Museum in Southern Japan. The columns create a field of
light and sound which gently shifts in response to the viewers’ movements,
via a hidden network of ultrasonic sensors. Each column is lit by a pure,
shimmering white light. This forest of light light calls you in, and its response
to your movement invites you to explore. Inside the grid lives a spirit,
in the form of a single pure red light. This spirit is timid but often playful,
revealing itself boldly then disappearing.
