hidden looney tunes gags
"It is a nomadic project for in- and outdoors,
that’s why I had to think about a power supply
which doesn't make use of domestic electrical power.
I got the hint from a traditional japanese lamp,
which is called CHOCHIN - a portable lamp,
used with a candle in the EDO period.
in my work, the candle flame changes into a LED,
the candle wax to lithium cell and the paper shade to a
standard rubber balloon... arigato! ‘
says the japanese music artist BEKKOU aka kouichi okamoto. ’the LED does not generate heat like other lights sources,
such as incandescent lamps. that’s why LEDs do not need
air circulation. the LED gives bright illumination and the balloon
creates a diffuse light.’
