Spectra is spectral types strobe : at each new frame, the computer randomly sends spectral type. The result of this digital flicker-film is a strange jerky light, yet based on the actual color of stars : each visible image is a spectrograph, that is to say the spectrum of visible light for a given type of star . Here, these spectrographs are distributed randomly to give the viewer the opportunity to experience the visible colors in the stars.
