Billow V (2020) is a striking sculptural LED installation by Daniel Canogar, located at ING Spain’s headquarters in Madrid. The work features a sinuous LED ribbon—one of six—that continuously displays abstract animations generated from real‑time Google Trends data. As search queries rise in popularity, the colours shift from cool hues to warm tones, visualising the digital heat of global interest. Brief textual overlays of top trending searches emerge before dissolving into smoky, interlaced abstractions, exposing the hidden dynamics of the data‑sphere.

The curved architectural form of the screens evokes natural landscapes—rivers, hills, waves—while materialising the immaterial flows of information. Canogar’s hybrid of generative software, flexible LED hardware, live data feeds, and sculptural metal framing renders the digital age visible and sensorial.
