Everyone hypnotized by this humble yet beautiful "lamp" was looking for the same thing: electrical wires that powered it. But there weren't any: BoYoung Jung's Prism doesn't plug in. Each element of the object is a small solar-powered LCD panel; in the presence of light, a brief electrical impulse is transmitted to the crystals, forcing them to twist and change their optical properties. Each section refracts light as it passes through, a responsive quality that offers viewers an ever-changing color spectrum. Enjoy.
