Recent Projects: THE INTERCONNECTED CITY

           
Created for the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation in Silicon Valley, The Interconnected City is a scale model of an entire city that can be examined with a "Magic Lens" to reveal stories about how people use the Internet.

A descendant of the Interactive Digital Wall, the Interconnected City exhibit is made up of a curved front track that supports an LCD display moving horizontally. Within the carriage, a pneumatic post allows the display to be moved up and down, resulting in a curved 2D exploration surface. Behind the protective surface is a model of an entire city. Animated cartoon scenarios showing Internet usage play out on the display whenever it is moved to a "hot spot".
