inside out urban ambient display

17 May 2006

insideout.jpga set of aesthetic lighting displays on top of 9 buildings that visually samples the real-time activity levels from the inside of the buildings. the installation measures the movement & energy within buildings & makes them ambiently visible outside, so as people walk around the South Main gallery district of Memphis, they are able to see each building node & it's activity before they enter them.
the rooftop ambient light system consisted of a microcontroller to intepret the data sent to it from below & solid state relays to control 16 bulbs diffused by blue plexi in a minimally designed display.
