Abstract
The CityBeat project involves developing tactile information that embodies and communicates the heartbeat of Helsinki, Lisbon, London and Riga. The CityBeat installation attempts to reconnect people to their urban environment. We take a noise that represents the hustle and bustle of the city center and transform that noise in a place remote from the source. The transformation takes a tactile nature, so that people can physically feel the information. By comparing the city to an organism with its own heartbeat, we wanted to create an understanding that the pulse of the city is a collective contribution.Description
