google creative lab & BERG develop interactive light interfaces
at the beginning of 2011 BERG started a wide-ranging conversation with the google creative lab, around near-future experiences of google and its products. during the discussions with them, a strong theme arised. both companies became curious about how it would feel to have google in the world, rather than on a screen.
the question emerged: if google wasn’t trapped behind glass, what would it do? what would it behave like? how would we react to it? the following images and videos take a look at the process and development from the conceptual approach in the project ‘lamps’.
