A Totally Legit installation at Seattle City of The Future, in Capitol Hill Seattle in 2023, including David Hull, James Robinson, Shelly Farnham, Andrew Cole, and Jeff Brice.
This project provided a tangible, interactive manifestation of natural and man-made ecologies in Seattle and the Northwest, setting the stage for the notion in a future Seattle, we as citizens may leverage new technologies to control our own collective outcomes.
From this command and control room participants were encouraged to modify and interact with projected futures of the city, to see an impact on the well-being of urban communities based on publicly available data. Similarly, we visualized mitochondrial transformations in the greater Puget Sound area, revealing the hidden annual cycles of these natural communities outside of the built environment. An augmented reality visualization provided a systems view of the city’s data.
