Digital and interactive specialists, Special Moves and Haque Design + Research collaborated to push the boundaries of crowd-sourced interactivity for public spaces, enabling citizens to reconfigure their city.
Lead by Special Moves and Usman Haque, the team - 5 people, over two weeks utilised 3 projectors, 5 laptops, 2 developers, 1 UXer, 1 concepter, 14 days and 1 big idea: to create a prototype demonstrating how a simple digital user interface can empower people to redesign their city.
What they made was essentially a mobile interface that allowed people to create pixel-sprites that were projected onto the walls of the courtyard space at Specialmoves HQ. People could not only design but manipulate their own creations.
