When you’re a building company tearing down half a town, you’re never always a going to be a popular company, no matter how great the end result promises to be. So Bonnier Properties, who are currently building a huge shopping centre in Hornstull (the last undeveloped place) in Stockholm, Sweden, decided to create a social art installation to make the area just a little more tolerable during construction…
The installation was created as a dynamic social forest that would add a new leaf every time someone walked by. If you want to stop and interact, each projection is linked to a Microsoft Kinect which allows you to connect with Facebook to create bigger community leaves… Very cool.
Pretty lame if you ask me. No value here at all. I’d guess that most people wouldn’t know why they were in the tunnel. Perhaps something interactive that shared designs of what was actually being constructed would have been COOL.
Awww… this is beautiful! A true act of kindness and an example of how simple things can make our lives more interesting and fulfilled…
