Visioflex
How much further can a piece of lighting go besides solely providing illumination? In this project, the definition of light is re-examined and approached from a different angle: a photographic point of view. Cameras capture light as well, but a different kind from the ones that we associate from lamps and bulbs.
There are two lenses on the main body of Visioflex - the top lens is part of a camera obscura, a simple device which projects upside-down image of its surroundings onto a screen behind. Functioning based on the principle that light travels in a straight line, it is one of the inventions that led to photography. The bottom lens is a discarded, real camera lens which was non-functional but cleaned to be integrated into the design. Three power LED behind the lens within the unit projects a strong spot light; instead of capturing light, the lens is now resurrected to give light.
