LIGHT WEIGHT
Fall 2024
PLA, LEDs, 9V battery
Light Weight is a lamp centered around it’s interaction with the user. To turn it on, you need to place a weight on the end of it’s string, either the weight that comes with it or another item, like house keys. When the weight is removed the light will turn off. If you have multiple lights, you will need to keep moving the weight around. Or if you need to to take your keys to leave, you will be picking up your keys and turning off your light in one action. It asks the user to sacrifice something physical for light and consider how the simple act of lighting their home has a real cost.
