This lighting concept explores the perception of time through light, translating the passage of time into a visual and atmospheric experience. The design is based on the cognitive principle that the average human attention span for a single task is approximately 20 minutes. To represent this cycle, a light source is continuously rotated 360° over a 20-minute interval by a stepper motor controlled via an Arduino board. At the end of each cycle, the light color shifts for a short time, signaling the transition into the next time period and fostering a heightened awareness of phases of focus and transition. The material selection reflects the conceptual contrast between traditional and contemporary perceptions of time. By combining delicate mulberry paper with 3D-printed PLA, the design merges organic, handcrafted elements with technological precision.
Through the integration of motion, light modulation, and material aesthetics, this design transforms time into an intuitive and immersive sensory experience. As an experimental intersection of technology and perception psychology, it offers a novel approach to understanding temporal rhythms and work cycles.
