Living Light is a permanent pavilion in a public park that exchanges text messages, and glows according
to air quality and public interest in the environment. (http://vimeo.com/35982543) This building facade of the future is a
giant map of Seoul that glows and blinks according to both air quality and
public interest in the environment. First, each neighborhood lights up if its
air is better than a year ago. Second, every hour the map goes dark and the
neighborhoods light up in order of best current air quality to worst. Third,
citizens can text the pavilion with a postal code, receive a message back with
that neighborhood’s real-time air quality, and cause the neighborhood on the
map to blink. The pavilion becomes a register of our collective concern about
an important urban and personal issue. The more blinking, the more collective
concern. And once people text in a request, the building becomes a contact in
their phones, offering a new framework for human communication with buildings. Through
the pavilion, citizens participate in a low-resolution public discussion about
the future of the environment.
