it's ON

All the light sources from my apartment (16 lamp units, numbered, dated and signed) were switched from the local power supply to a mobile power source (UPS Power Walker 1600W) - while they were ON - without interruption and then transported to the gallery. The gallery's power grid was tapped and the bypass transfer was completed. The lamps then scanned the new premises. Their freedom of movement was restricted by the length of the cable, which corresponded to the spatial situation in my apartment. Their power supply was protected by a UPS device and a power failure detector that could connect to my cell phone. The exhibition was intended as a challenge for the viewer to continue playing the initiated game: by purchasing the system (or individual lamps). After the exhibition, all lamps were delivered - again without interruption - to a collector, who has been lighting a selected room with them ever since.
