MyCity belongs to a series of projects that explore the capacity for environments to respond precisely and pointedly to a subject’s actions and characteristics. The individuated connectedness is meant to expand the subject’s sphere of influence, projecting in this case the personal Flickr gallery of any willing participant onto public space. This is achieved simply with the help of a cellphone that allows an individual to identify his or her Flickr account and trigger the public display of selected personal images.

To see your Flickr slide show instantly projected in the convenience window, send an e-mail to mycity416@gmail.com with your Flickr account name in the subject line.
