The Boost Project explores our shifting enthusiasms towards contemporary life, responding directly to its own social media popularity. Each time the work is followed on Twitter, receives a like on Facebook, or is hash-tagged #THEBOOSTPROJECT, it shoots an array of coloured LED lights and gradually increases in size, swelling slowly until it reaches its peak. If ignored, it immediately begins to deflate.
