Lamps located in each of these holes light up in real time according to the temperature in the great sacred Aboriginal site ULURU, a monolith located in the heart of Australia’s red desert.

In the middle of winter in Longues, in the middle of the night, when the temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius in Uluru, almost all the holes in the walls are lit up.

In the middle of summer in Longues, in the middle of the day, when temperatures are below freezing in Uluru, lamps of a different color come on.
