Wixel Cloud Display

I stumbled on the cool RGB light sculpture Wixel Cloud Sketch on Vimeo
I get no response from Blendid (the guys who made it) and really want to make a scaled down version , maybe 20 LED's. The closest thing I can think of is adapting a 3x3x3 RGB LED cube, but I don't think it is random enough or as slow.
Has anyone here made anything close to the Wixel Cloud Display?
