Power strips are used on a daily basis in most homes as a means of ‘transporting’ energy to the products we use every day. The ‘Power-Aware Cord’ is a re-designed electrical power strip in which the cord is designed to visualize the energy rather than hiding it. The current use of electricity is represented through glowing pulses, flow, and intensity of light. Expressing the presence of energy through light can inspire people to explore and reflect upon the energy consumption of electrical devices in their home.

Artist projects are always entertaining to peruse. Even more so when the basis for the project is improving our general well-being and awareness. The above glowing power cables come by way of Static – Increasing Energy Awareness.

I wouldn’t mind having a few of these. They have that nice UNEASY blue hue going on.
