Desk Lamp Luciferous Radii is inspired by a recent web video documenting a desk lamp robot built by students in a physical computing class at the University of Victoria, Wellington in New Zealand. The students used open source technology like Arduino micro-controllers and a programming language called Processing to generate the behavior of a disarmingly lifelike lamp robot named Pinokio. Pinokio was inspired by an early Pixar animation called Luxo Jr that features  animated desk lamps. The motion and behavior of the lamps in Luxo Jr. were  influenced by the 12 basic principles of animation.
