(April 2003) [Light Box]

The light box toy is a two-dimensional version of the light bar toy. To start playing one must insert a key into the box to turn it on. Then by tilting and shaking the box, a grid of lights will light up depending on your movement. The toy functions mechanically and it is my interest to merge simple electronics with mechanics. There is no specific 'goal', the toy simply invites one to play with lights in a direct physical manner.
