The Lamp of Hope, a timer the internet must keep alive

Field notes

The project assigns a finite lifespan to a shared online lamp: its stated starting reserve is seven days, and each €1 contribution adds ten minutes. Purchases made before the lighting are held and delivered when the lamp begins, while early supporters receive numbered “Founding Keeper” status in arrival order. The page says the lamp cannot be relit after it goes dark, making continued operation depend on successive contributions rather than a one-time launch.
