ABOUT

This project explores the relationship of cooperation and the sustainable immobile lifestyle. It highlights the issues around our reliance on electricity to communicate when we are physically isolated, made possible by the use of electronic devices. In a system of co-dependence, one is forced to consider their own levels of usage and input.

A series of boxes in a dark room light up. Each box contains a small kinetic generator to supply the power to the lightbulb in one other box. The subjects inside the boxes are immobile and isolated, their only connection to the outside world is through these lights. Without the light, they are cut off and powerless.

Each figure is responsible for another as they work as a co-dependent unit to send a pattern of light flashes around the circuit. It takes only one person to stop and break the pattern and the system breaks down.
