Polytope de Cluny, premièred on October 13, 1972 and presented until January 1974. In all, nearly 100,000 tickets were sold. Installed within the Roman baths of Cluny on boulevard Saint-Michel in Paris, the light show was generated by a computer that controlled the 600 some white electronic flashes and 400 mirrors that reflected green, red and blue laser beams. The sound element was an 8-track electroacoustic tape that Xenakis realized in the Studio Acousti.
