White Noise

by Nayeon Kim

Interactive ambient light

I am looking into a small pond. I am throwing a rock onto the still surface of the water creating gentle ripples.

White Noise  is an interactive ambient luminaire. Re-positioning the magnetic ‘rocks’ creates optical ripples, a poetic disruption on a calm surface of light.
