Blow-up Lamp

Filed under: All, Art, Tech, DIY, Product, House, Lighting

Sometimes all you need is a simple subversion of an everyday object to give yourself a “David Blaine” moment.

This time, it’s a balloon lamp. Just tear the packaging, blow up the balloon and throw in the LED and there you have it – a cool, affordable lamp.

with a simple lithium coin battery, you could possibly use it for over
a hundred hours continuously and you don’t have to deal with messy
wires.

CHIT CHAT

This
makes me wish I owned a cafe because if I did, I’d be bribing Steven
Blyth and Matty Sallin to install their Chit Chat installation in
there. So if any of my customers were talking with each other, a speech
bubble would project above their heads as they talked. The bubble would
swell with the text “blah blah” as they continued to talk and the text
would reflect the volume of your speech by changing size and attributes
(bold, italic).

All of this would take place in Flash. A
script would read the amplitude recorded and generate the proper “blah”
graphic. And if one of them remained silent, they would eventually get
a corresponding thought bubble.
