elastic light - rubber light switch

As we use objects we often take light and especially materials for granted without knowing characteristics about them. In most cases it is only handled and accepted.

Due to the unique elasticity of natural rubber the lamp conveys the power of the material in form of light change. The more the natural rubber gets stretched the brighter the light. Furthermore this shows up through change of the material. The interplay between the „zero point“ and „maximal elasticity“ of natural rubber leads to a playful use of a rethought switch system which regulates a dimmable light.
