Machine Lights





















Designer Frank Buchwald has created a series of lights called the Machine Lights. Looking at them at first glance they almost seem alive, as if they were little mechanical creatures out of a Tim Burton film. Perhaps that is what Buchwald was getting at. Looking at the machine as not only a series of working parts, but as if those parts together had life and personality and were not dependant on human interaction. The human within the machine, or the machine world. A comment very relevant in todays world considering the advancements of machines and virtual reality, and how machines are becoming more autonomous as they gain more capability and intelligence. Personally I love these lights. They are beautiful and animated and just very interesting. Check out the entire series HERE, they will all blow you away.
