Environmental and population-based information is constantly inputted to the system and tallied. Community members connect to the system, incentivised by free usage. They receive and simultaneously generate data in several ways: they self-identify needs and opportunities; they participate directly in governance at school, business and council level, by remote voting, with self-forming interest groups creating civic coherence; they use location-based social networking to recognise physical proximity– by meeting up they actively create temporary shared public spaces. These data connections and flows grow a social memorybank giving Everyville a distinct profile. This profile is physically manifested in the abstract vertical colour coding of its streetlights: weekly local-zone data generate low and mid-level lighting; while longer-term community-wide data determine high-level lighting. Together all create a distinctive streetlight aura.
Everyville unites around its changing colour. |
