Beschreibung der Autoren: "The goal of the Presence project is to develop innovative ways in which infor- mation and communications technology can be used by older people within their local communities. One of these is the Projected Realities system. Over the past two years we have tried, through various innovative means, to gain insight in the people and culture of the Bijlmer. While it is a troubled neighbourhood, it is also rich in cultural diversity and pride. Local people have talked about the dangers of living there, but have also expressed, more emphatically, their frustration with the area's bad reputation, and their desire for outsiders to understand the rewards of living in the Bijlmer. The Projected Realities system responds to these things. The system enables a kind of legal graffiti. It allows inhabitants to communicate their attitudes, opinions and feelings within the neighbourhood; to outsiders. The Projec- ted Realities system has two major visible components. |
Three
slogan-benches, which will be installed along pedestrian routes
through the Bijlmer. These will look like traditional benches, except
for a motorised scroll in the backrest which will show slogans -
short comments, questions, exhort-ations, or observations - written
by local elders. The scroll turns automatically, but pas- sers-by
can also select slogans manually. |
