Blow is an interactive light installation designed by Florian Dussopt Design Studio. I worked alongside Florian as a design development assistant to build this installation piece.
A large dark matte disk is embedded with LED lights and an ubiquitous folded pinwheel toy in its centre, bringing back childhood memories.
To activate Blow, the user stands close to create an intimate relationship with the installation. By blowing on the pinwheel, a turbine senses the strength of the spinning pinwheel and LED`s light up accordingly, dispersing light in an elegant array.
If the pinwheel spins fast enough, the object stays lit up until the next interaction. This is the object version of a concept of light interaction that can take any size and shape to create bespoke installations.
