Eibert Draisma and Aoife Wullur created “Tulip Mania!”, a light artwork shown at Amsterdam Light Festival 2014 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Tulip mania, tulip fury; these words refer to the tulip madness in seventeenth-century Holland. For the duration of three years, a bag of tulip bulbs was worth as much as a multiple canal houses. After 1637 the trade collapsed.
