Suspension Lamp by Franz West is a minimalist 1991 sculpture that combines industrial materials with an unconventional design approach, transforming a utilitarian object into a piece of conceptual art. The lamp consists of a simple metal chain, suspended horizontally, with light sockets hanging from either end. Its raw, unpolished appearance and lack of traditional structure challenge typical notions of form and functionality in lighting design. The piece embodies West’s playful defiance of conventional art and design boundaries, inviting viewers to reconsider everyday objects through an artistic lens. Produced in an open edition, this lamp serves as both a commentary on industrial aesthetics and a statement on the intersection of art and functionality, urging contemplation of the mundane in an unconventional context.

What is interactive art?
Interactive art is a form of art where the spectator is actively involved by the artist to achieve the artwork's purpose. This involvement can include allowing the visitor to walk around, in, or on the art installation, or even becoming a part of the artwork itself. Works in this category often feature computers, sensors, and interfaces that respond to various inputs such as meteorological changes, heat, motion, or other types of data programmed by the artist.
