1. A method of wireless reception of a two-dimensional optical control instruction to control a plurality of lighting elements, the method comprising:

  • with a plurality of separate light sources configured as a two-dimensional array, forming a two-dimensional optical control signal including a two-dimensional array of separate pixels;

    with a plurality of moveable reactive modules configured in a two-dimensional distribution, wherein each reactive module includes an optical receiver and a lighting element, receiving the two-dimensional optical control signal from a projector, wherein each reactive module receives a respective separate pixel of the two-dimensional array of separate pixels;

    converting the control signal into a respective digital signal for each reactive module;

    decoding the digital signal into a respective instruction for controlling the lighting element of each reactive module;

    transmitting the instruction to the lighting element of the respective reactive module; and

    controlling the lighting element according to its respective instruction.
