Is it a plant? Is it an animal? Is it tech? The creators of Live Light say it is all of the above.  A bioengineered living breathing plant with integrated nanotech, creature.

 

The origin plant of this mutation is a Lion Mane’s mushroom. These shaggy plants look surprisingly elegant when they are brightly-lit and drooping over your living room. The creature gravitates to your window during the day to accumulate the bit of sunlight it needs to absorb, much like a solar panel would. They need a lot of water, but do not require any electricity.

 

Many people are criticizing the plant, saying it is a “Rich People Light” seeing as water prices have more than doubled in the past few decades. Yohan Idlee, CEO of Live Light has responded, saying; “The plant does not require distilled water and you can leave them outside to collect rainwater.” He further added that they are working on a version of this plant that could purify rainwater.

 

Could you imagine a light that purifies water for you? What else would you even need? Can we make it fly, Yohan?
