1. A method for controlling a lighting device having a plurality of light sources, the method comprising the following method steps:
describing an animation object in a virtual coordinate system with a description language using a string of numbers and letters corresponding to a plurality of parameters of the virtual coordinate system, wherein the description language describes a rotation of an animation object movement in at least one spatial dimension in the virtual coordinate system, and
interpreting the animation object described in the description language by a control device controlling the plurality of light sources such that the light sources perform the animation object movement.
