Inside Out
Urban Ambient Display
[Inside Out is a] 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.
