Parklights (2006)

Parklights presents an enhancement of the infrastructure of park lighting using basic sensor applications to insert a sense of playfulness and language while concurrently exploring information storage.

The arrangement and movement of physical objects in space represents information. Parklights deals with an existing situation of lighting systems in parks which are not utilized during the day and fail to adequately respond to security issues at night.

Because of the behavior of the park lights, the park holds on to it's liveliness and vigor as the daylight fade and night sets in.

Using 4 modified garden lights with a PIR (Passive InfraRed) sensor affixed to each of them, a responsive environment emerges as the lights become capable of communicating with the public.

Through a task as simple as turning on and off four lights, Parklights attempts to insert a psychological dimension as the flashing patterns of the lights take on the characteristics of intelligent motion.
