How can AI and data be used to create art installations in public spaces? What data can be collected and used for creative concepts?
In a digital world that is redefining creative forms of expression, questions arise: How can AI and data be used to create art installations in public spaces? What data can be collected and used for creative concepts? The example of the Werksviertel shows how a planned architectural concept guides people in a targeted manner and leads their movements through space to buildings – mostly routinely and purposefully. How can technology be used to make movements and social interactions in the planned urban space visible and to make users aware of their own presence and that of others?
FlowPoint is a digital installation that records the movements and social connections of people in public spaces and displays them in real time. The fact that it is not always used simultaneously and that there are different user groups (e.g., office workers, restaurant operators, tourists, and locals) creates invisible timelines and interactions. It promotes awareness of the presence of users and shows how their movements shape the space as part of a living collective.
