That ball that descends from the Empire State Building on New Year’s Eve has really gone high tech with all the LEDs ths year …

Something involving fiber optics? Maybe the ends that plug into the switch? Great photo, by the way.

It also looks like a hanging lighting system, I second S’mart’s guess. Modern art museum? Or a swanky hotel in Vegas?

It’s a laser fusion reactor chamber. The lasers all focus on a central point inside a sphere filled with gas. The sphere is magnetically sealed against leakage.

Bingo S’mart, a new winner. Oddwick is corrrect too.
This is looking straight up into a 4-story chandelier. Each glass blob is at the bottom of a long fiber to the roof above. You can see horizontal balcony layers in the bottom half of the photo. It looks like a sphere, but each of the dots lie along a flat plane, and the lines are parallel to each other. (It does look like a hyperspace jump, or a rush of fibers into the blank construct program of the Matrix)
This is overhead in the lobby of the Shenzhen city government building.
