LIVELY UP YOURSELF
Story of light
“An interactive installation exploring the inseparable nature of lights and colours. A series of suspended light pipes explore the scientific principles the scattering of light and light diffusion. The installation responds to touch, just as we transform each other through our interactions.”
The soft and gentle glow of the light pipes ‘afford’ themselves to the sense of touch.
The installation changes colour in response to this engagement. Two tubes can be connected to form one tube, which acquires the colour of the two individual pieces. Just like a ray of light that scatters and diffuses on account of encountering particles, making each particle reflect the light that falls upon it, each connection we make, we tend to leave an element of ourselves with them just as we take something with us, reflecting what we gained, as we transform through that connection.
