joshua kirsch: concentricity interactive light series

concentricity is an interactive light sculpture series by joshua kirsch. consisting of three

individual pieces - concentricity 96, 80, 16 - each one presents an illuminated white handle
in which a viewer is invited to move in any desired direction. reed switches located within
the sculpture's circuitry sense the movements of a magnet that is contained in each of the
sculpture's handles, translating this information into the form of LED light.
