Concrete Light

Casted Concrete, Resine, Arduino Board, LED light

16"x13"x14"

The inspiration of my piece was from a thing in the our studio's restroom.

There is a spot on the concrete floor is extruded. I don’t know what happened. However, it catches my eyes every time when I sit on the toilet. I can’t stop thinking about it. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It looks like a stone growing up from the ground. I strongly feel it has a life. It secretly planing some tricks, like aliens attacking the earth.

​

Therefore, I start to think of giving my product a life, so that I can inject emotion to it easier. Then I tried to apply some biological feature into my idea such as breathing light, an organic shape, and feeling of growth. Due to the coldness and hardness of concrete, the materiality of it normally is lifeless. I want to explore what will happen with it after giving concrete a life.

People from different perspective can get different imagination.

本作品的灵感来自于我们工作室楼下的厕所。一个块东西从水泥地板的角落里鼓了出来。我不知道发生了什么，但是每次我坐在马桶上的时候都会被它吸引到。我越看它，越发觉得这是个有意思的动西。它给了我无限的想象。它就像是一个外星人的蛋从地上长出来，秘密的计划着什么阴谋，像是要把这个厕所的空间占领。

这个给我了一个启发，如果给一个物体生命，人们会更容易的对它产生感情和故事。所以我尝试着将一些生物的特征应用到一些特别的人工材质上，比如呼吸LED灯和水泥的结合，用多种传感器使灯可以对环境的变化作出反应。最后成为了一个试验性的客观物体，来探索当有机的元素应用到人工的材料上会产生什么结果，并给人无限的想象。
