My Cloud

This is a part of the work that I presented for the Studio Final.
I started out studying the diffusion of the WiFi technologies all over the world ...

focusing in US

and Chicago


The concept development visualizes WiFi as GasInformation and it sees the future opening of the city towards a free internet access as an urban information cloud, which is going to cover Chicago.

Social sculptures such as water tanks will become social sensors to collect data of any types - weather forecasting, such as wind, rain, pollution and movement of people - both in Chicago and all over the world.

Collecting rain water during the week and nebulizing this water, the output from these data will be a real cloud, as a happening every Friday evening. The cloud will have different dimensions, depending on the weather condition and pollution.

Finally, I came up with the idea to integrate the sustainable of this cloud, which re-inserts the rain water in its natural cycle - from the ground again to the sky - with the WiFi Technology. I thought about a Friday-evening Event on the Randolph Street, hopefully in collaboration with some Art Galleries of the West Loop Art District. The Information Cloud can be used as projection surface for Vj and Dj performances, which can collaborate live from all over the world or, for example, it could be used as a special environment to show Net.Art. Visitors can experience these performances from both inside and outside the cloud. Moreover visitors will be able to make video-conferences using ether fog or water as projection surfaces.


Well, as a good friend of mine said to me:
"You are just starting your personal research. These are only the first steps ..."
