One Million Points of Light is a website "launched by British artist Andrew Pepper in February 2006.

It's aim is to produce a collaborative work which can be seen globally, anywhere there is an Internet connection and computer. This might include your home, a gallery, library, restaurant or public space. One Million Points Of Light is currently being seen in 92 countries!


The concept is simple - you, the visitor to this site, are invited to "switch on" a block of 'Internet' light on the project's homepage. and position this anywhere within a screen made up of one million points. Over the following three years the screen will fill as more and more blocks are illuminated. Eventually the finished image will have been 'drawn' by many individuals from hundreds of locations around the world."
