Power Aware Cord
STATIC!’s design, Power Aware Cord, are a design
which focus on energy issue.
It uses power strips to make people seeing their
personal energy consumption everyday life by visualize the energy. Expressing
the presence of energy through light to inspire people to explore and reflect
upon the energy consumption of electrical devices in their home.
The lighting power strips don’t have any traditional
meaning of ‘function’ such like saving energy, it even need extra energy to be
lighten. However, it has ‘para-functionality’, which discourages unthinking
ideological assimilation and encourages doubt by increasing the poetic distance
between people products. Make it unfamiliar to normal power strips.
Instead of other design try to solve the energy
problem like use energy saving device or solar system, Power Aware Cord tries
to “aware” our consciousness of energy consuming, It evoke users to reflect
upon the issue rather then solving problem and then hiding it. For our society
to find problem is equal important to salving problem, since the energy issue
is too big to have ultimate solutions. People should aware about it in their
daily life and it could become a social common view. Power Aware Cord inspires
people to critically rethink from most normal life with this simple deign to
the big global issue behind this seem- peaceful ordinary.
