LightPot
Interactive light sculpture
LightPot is an interactive teapot that ‘pours’ you colour instead of tea. It is like a small electronic creature that responds to you. Send a text with the name of a colour to the LightPot and it will respond in colour. The teapot is a classic glass teapot augmented with lots of white wire.

I want to see this exhibition again. I loved the magic teapot the most!"Audience at ‘Light Play’, Solo exhibition, Banbury Museum
Hidden inside the LightPot are electronics & lights. The light reflects in the white wiry appearance, changing the teapot’s colour every time the audience sends a new text message. The interface is simple; note the number by the teapot and send a text.
Tine Bech’s new interactive teapot – I know, how interactive do you want a teapot to be? But, like all Tine’s work, its seriously beautiful."
