Michal Maciej Bartosik

This is awesome. High art + lightsabers = lovely!
...what? ...what do you mean "they're not lightsabers." I know lightsabers when I see them, dagnabbit!

Michal Maciej Bartosik has created two new floating compression lights that are based on two of Kenneth Snelson‘s sculptures: ‘Needle Tower’ and ‘City Boots’.

Utilizing Snelson’s structural discovery, appropriated and popularized by Buckminster Fuller as “Tensegrity,” Bartosik proposes new possibilities of light forms, whereby the light source and its electrical wire work mutually in compression and tension to produce a seemingly discontinuous field of light defined by it structural form.
