"Turning something boring into something fun" was the goal of the project. They delivered. From what I understand, Hornstull is an underdeveloped hipster neighborhood of Stockholm and now it's going under reconstruction. They're building a shopping mall and instead of walking through boring construction sites the people at Abby Norm created a fully interactive tunnel. In their words:
"In a construction tunnel we installed projectors, speakers and kinect sensors. We created a digital artwork designed as a virtual, interactive forest. The sensors registered the people passing the projection surfaces, which made the forest grow and change. Via a main screen, the visitors were given the possibility to interact directly with the installation and to help the forest grow."
This is a great idea, as someone who lives in a city that always seems to be under construction, having the opportunity to have a daily encounter with a project like this would be so awesome.
