The incandescents

The Incandescents is an interactive sound and light installation inviting people to build their very own light bulb. Old Edison-style carbon filament light bulbs hang in the middle of a workstation. Once switched on the lightbulbs wake up and guide the audience through lightbulb making.

Originally commissioned for The Good Neighbour, Battersea Arts Centre, December 2013. Reworked for the On Light Festival at Wellcome Collection, April 2015.
