The Breathing Blobs
Made by Pedro Veloso and David Perry
The breathing blobs complement the conventional lighting switch in order to help the users to develop good habits regarding energy consumption. The blobs analyze the lighting and occupancy conditions of a room in order to promote changes. They move, emit lights and sounds to display the effort of the lighting system and therefore to engage people to save energy. They rest when everything is balanced or the system is off.
