R is an adaptable, mobile light source featuring integrated sensory capabilities.
Its core sensor is a conductive yarn knitted into a 280 cm tube. When the fabric is stretched lengthwise, its electrical resistance shifts, increasing conductivity. As a result, the intensity of the elongation directly dictates the brightness of the light. Through this mechanism, R explores how electronic objects can be intuitively controlled by physical deformation, translating tactile tension into light.
