Summer 2023
Created for the 2023 Seattle Design Festival in collaboration with Peter Comaue. We built an interactive, visual data installation, via the suspended topographical map of Seattle. Festival goers plot their current residence by attaching one end of the string to the map, they were then prompted to pin the other end to a neighborhood they most enjoy in Seattle. The resulting catenary arch represents a bridge between certain wants and desires.
We were curious about what qualities are desirable in a neighborhood, prompting a discussion on what can be incorporated into one's own neighborhood to better reflect the desires of the community. Because this installation is a reflection of festival goers’ personal experiences, the response also reflected a variety of narratives that may not have a unified story.
