Incandescent was presented at the AV Festival, UK for the first time in February 2010. The
installation is an exploration of the incandescent light bulb, from its birth 130 years ago to its impending extinction. This interactive audio-visual sculpture made with 100 light bulbs was installed in the Pilgrim Pub in Sunderland, once part of the Athenaeum. In this building in 1846, Joseph Swan attended a lecture by physicist W Richardson that inspired him to invent the light bulb.
