The idea for the interactive kitchenware  came from G.G. Marquez’s short story ”Light Is Like Water”, wherein he describe two children breaking light bulbs, swimming in the liquid light, dripping from the windows down to the street. I thought it could be great to imitate this kind of physical behavior of water with light, as real as I can. For modeling the behavior I’ve used: LED rings, microprocessor (Basic Stamp), light and tilt sensor. The glass can be ‘filled’ by light from any light source, much like water from a tap, and the turning off is done by just purring the light out :)
