NEIGHBOURS COMUNICATION 2009

This was an installation for an apartment complex in the city „Viana do Castelo“ in Portugal.

The intention was to create an indirect communication between neighbors. Repress monochrome atmosphere in the night caused by opaque shutters when the complex look like a dead city. Lighting installation represents what is happening in each flat. The result comes from the night view at panel buildings in the Czech Republic.

When eachone has a specifi c identity (a distinctive identity) by it that through each window leak out a reduced lighting and it is clearly possible to register the motion in the room, switchs of the TV etc. Also, the changing composition of geometric (rectangular formats, window) depending on the activity in the room (leaving the room, sleep).

The installation using a light panel LED and sensors for brightness control located on each balcony (one balcony for each window). I achieve a distribution of black and white environs (ambient) and support the result of the lights saing: „People living inside me.“ People can turn on or turn off lights and changing composition. The light is changing intensity depending on the number of people in the room. I chose rather colder, staid light colors, which are more suitable for modern architectural complex and usually the colours influence people calmly.
