Abstract

The rapid densification of urban areas around the world offers exciting opportunities for new place-based artworks and loca-tive media that aim at engaging, informing and entertaining members of local communities. In this paper, we introduce a design competition for concepts of interaction design which display visual evidence of connectivity in a master-planned community. This competition is based in and focuses on one of Brisbane’s newly built inner urban renewal developments. Fur-thermore, we introduce the conceptual interaction design of one of the competition’s winning entries, as well as its potential and its challenges to engage local residents in participation and exploration of place-based information and community media.
