illuminating object
medium: halogen lights, ebony blade
dimensions: approx 12" H
date: february 2004

An exercise in the incorporation of smart products (mechatronics) into an academic form assignment, this illuminating work becomes brighter and more intense as a viewer moves closer to it. Using ultra-sonic sensors and varying pulse-width modulation voltage to the lights via a programmed microprocessor brought an interaction that was the magic of this piece.
