‘An anglepoise lamp and its digital double; move the lamp’s head, turn it on and off, and encounter a haunting duet between the physical and digital world. ‘Illuminating Data’ is inspired by research from The Lloyd’s Register Foundation Data-Centric Engineering programme at The Alan Turing Institute. Their digital twin allows for real-time correspondence between the physical engineering system and its digital equivalent. The digital twin can undergo testing before, during and after physical alterations are made, lending increased efficiency and economy in testing and decision making processes.

This live simulation, created and tested through simultaneous game engine and electronic experimentation, exposes the way that the parallel systems operate. The familiar and familial visual poetry between the lamp and its double, begs the question; what are the potential uses of digital twins in everyday life and in what kind of futures will these systems operate?’
