Abstract

Our urban visual world is overflooded with messages mostly coming from advertisers and public officials. The information is pushed to our consciousness without giving us a chance to reply. No real dialogue takes place. I would like to see a change in this and bring more possibilities for interaction into our shared and public spaces. In my thesis I review the research on public display design and map the context by looking at the history of public space. Design models and methods are introduced to overcome the shortcomings of traditional human-computer interaction design. However, the focus of the work is on a production: the Dotted Landscape light panel that allows remote controlling through a web user interface. By opening the web site users can draw collaboratively, create animations and write text messages that are displayed real-time on the light panel.
