Democracia Urbana

“La Democracia Urbana reconoce al ser humano como protagonista de la ciudad y al espacio público como escenario abierto de dicha participación. Es un camino abierto, un punto de encuentro entre arquitectos, pintores, actores, jardineros, músicos, ingenieros… Agentes activos capaces de transformar los espacios perdidos de la ciudad”.

Stimmungsgasometer - Berlin's Mood

The project Stimmungsgasometer is about a smiley on a huge screen from which one can read the average mood of the Berlin citizens.



The system allows to read emotions out of random peoples faces. The faces are analyzed by sophisticated software (contributed by the Fraunhofer Institut). The obtained mood data are then stored on a server and processed by the smiley on the screen to visualize the emotions in real-time.
