The passenger corridor between Concourse B and C at terminal 1 of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is home to the largest light sculpture in the world. Entitled 'Sky's the Limit', it is composed of 466 neon tubes, that would stretch over a mile long, if laid end to end. It runs the entire length of the ceiling above two moving sidewalks, and is composed of white sections on either end with a rainbow of colors in between. It is controlled by 3 different computers cycling through various patterns and never repeats itself in the iterations. Along the sides of the corridor, undulating walls with various pastel colors make for a very vibrant space.
