It was an exhibition I took my son to in 2016. He would have been about 10 years old.
The artist was Tatsuo Miyajima.
The tiny flashing numbers are supposed to signify the passing of time. They express the Buddhist idea of death and rebirth as the numbers hit zero before starting again.
Our son said it reminded him of computers, coding and Dr Who.

Great photo. I love the scientific and literary explanations your son came up with to describe it. You are obviously exposing him to cool stuff and hip art.
