A proposal for an interactive light installation entered into a 100% Design/Hidden Art competition. Made at Home were placed fourth.
The proposal is based on a suspended ‘cloud’ or ‘network’ consisting of ‘nodes’ and ‘connections’. The nodes represent each step of the decision-making process, while each connection (branching off in alternative directions) represents the alternative decisions that can be made from each choice.
The design features 128 domestic lightbulbs connected by 128 taut cables, all suspended from a grid at various heights and positions and is triggered by a ‘user’ pressing a red button.
This action sets off a chain reaction of light above the user’s head, seemingly random and confused, like flashes of lightning in a storm.
