Upon first seeing this, I thought the white things were birds,  Looking closer, I thought maybe Chinese symbols?  On the other hand, I don't know any Chinese symbols, so I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea what these strange lights are supposed to be.  Maybe that is the point of this piece, or maybe there is something else behind it.
This is one of the works exhibited at China Museum of Digital Art, Beijing.    http://www.field.io/exhibitions/communion/
