Smart in Public

3. Modular Public Ligh0ng System
On public space:
‐Offer simple and clear opportuni0es,
‐Be adap0ve by non‐specific usage,
‐Let it possess some form of internal order.

4. Similar groundtone in percep0on

6. ‐Usage as a circular process,
‐The beginning is the end and vice versa,
‐Con0nuous process (sequen0al AND parallel),
‐“membership” of users on bases of protocol,
‐modest level of social control, equality in command.
‐Allowing public space to become temporary private
`(and vice versa).

7. NO HIERARCY, NO CONTROL OVER THE NETWORK
1‐ON‐1 MESH CLUSTER FULL

8. The interven0on consists of the implementa0on of a new product
in a public space. It is a module which collects solar‐energy and
uses this to produce light (RGB led). This module will be inserted in
the exis0ng pavement in the shape of a grid.
The modules are no connected to anything else and will react
on mo0on or sound produced
by passing people.

9. Key elements:
• To be produced on a massive industrial scale,
• As cheap as possible
• Independent
• Self –suppor0ng
• Not aware of each other
• Not connected, not networked
• People are the network
• 70 cm grid
• Modules have a memory

10. Several layers of programmable schemes:
A: direct interac0on (walk over = light glows, slowly dims)
B: genitor modus (you can draw a soccer field or baseball court)
C: programming ( the public can design new schemes by tac0le programming)
1 Tap is light on, slowly fading
2 Taps is light on for half an hour
3 and more taps, light repeats pacern.
Time laps: Machine remembers what happened an hour/day or month ago and
displays the memorized pacerns in a different colour.

11. We aim to provoke the ghost in the machine, random
changes in the code are very welcome.
