While it was an interactive piece in the show, what you're seeing now is what happens when no one is interacting. The interaction was controlled by a MIDI keyboard that had 4 keys mapped to different function. The first 3 keys controlled which ball set would be released next. The last key controlled if the balls would 'go crazy' or not. Tech details: This was built in Processing (http://www.processing.org). I used OpenGL for the real-time 3D rendering. The balls are apart of a particle system with low gravity. Each set of balls has a spring between them, of varying strength depending on their color.
