On the one hand we want light to vary its intensity and direction according to phases more
than moving pieces of a mechanism. On the other hand, we want to aknowledge the fact
that the future of light is electronic, not electric. The distinctive potential of electronics is
its capacity to carry information that allow for multiple ways of interaction, such as a tactile
screen.
So, our project is a low voltage, moveable, dark sphere intuitively activated by touch. Hence
the name Huara, the aymarà word for star. Aymarà is the native population of the Acatama
desert, the driest and darkest one in the world. In other words, the place from where one can
see more stars in the planet; no wonder that by 2020, 70 % of the cutting edge astronomical
observation capacity of the planet will be in the land of Aymarà. Huara is to honor the original
light source of mankind and the state of the art technology.
