Fiber Optic Ribbon

While flipping through a brochure from Visual Lighting Technologies based out of Lake Forest, California, I found a product that they've created called Ribbon Fiber made of flexible PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) made in the tradition of Japanese fishing net that can be used to wrap around the countours of trees. Utilizing high intensity light and a color changing wheel, this Ribbon Fiber offers a lot of, well, flexibility.

Here are some other images of this Ribbon Fiber product used in the Roppongi Hills area of Tokyo, Japan, for a Christmas theme where a series of 14 trees were wrapped.
