I Made A Cloud Lamp That Triggers A Storm Every Time Donald Trump Makes A Tweet

ADVERTISEMENT

I’m Parse/Error, a French artist based in Marseille, and I created a connected cloud lamp that reacts in real time to the tweets from Donald Trump.

This connected lamp is capable of reacting in real time to messages posted on Twitter, creating a thunderstorm every time a tweet is posted. Each tweet is then materialized by a series of lightnings, rolling in the cloud and disturbing the soft light of the lamp.

The choice of setting the Political Lamp to follow the tweets of Donald Trump is explained by the fact that he perfectly embodies a dangerous era, where the words of one man on a global social network can endanger the fate of millions. The idea of the Political Lamp is to hide its true nature behind a beautiful object, which immediately modifies the observer’s behavior when its purpose is revealed, causing anxiety and fascination.

Connecting it with Trump was a bad idea, it will explode pretty soon.

And still,no lesson learned.People accuse him for hating,but all that hate towards him made him the president.You use his name to sell your product,he is doing the same (Trump tower,Trump vodka...).You have some things in common ;-)

Honestly this is cool in itself. You really don't need to include the Trump part to sell it -- that makes it more of a political tool than a piece of art.

I'd love it if the word "endanger" was kept out and it was just kept neutral. It's objectively true that a single tweet can cause a 'storm' but to give it a negative connotation just because it's Trump just turns it into political trolling and ruins it for me.

Um... cool... I guess? What a waste of a rad lamp. Should have connected it with something either more positive or dark and foreboding and less of the laughing stock of the US.

It's a shame you didn't make a "cloud lamp" that created a storm every time Obama apologized for America or every time Hillary lied or blamed someone else for her shortcomings: those could have illuminate the Palace at Versailles.

No fan of our current President, but it simply amazes me how many people at odds with him hang on his every word as if it were God himself. In case you don't know, our President is mostly a figure head, everything other than emergency powers during imminent crisis has to go through Congress.

Not true. Everything was absolutely perfect before he was elected president. There were no wars, no police brutality, no obesity epidemic, no income inequality, and no marriage inequality. It was utopia, right?

I like the whole cloud lamp idea. My 16 year old autistic son will love this! However, he is pro Trump. OF HIS OWN CHOOSINGHe believes that Trumps ideas for stimulating the economy are sound and he also believes that his no nonsense stance on foreign policy is what we need at this time in history. PJ is an avid researcher. When he saw the pool of Presidential candidates, he made a chart and filled in all of the fact based information that was available on each candidate. He continues to do so. He says that he doesnt agree with all of Trumps policies, but with the majority of them. He is only 16, but he is more informed an educated than the majority of adult voters in the U.S.

Melody: you posted a good comment, which was really a statement of fact. But since it wasn't left-leaning / anti-Trump, it got downvoted. Unsurprisingly, no one posted a cogent rebuke of your statement.
