As a part of a European Union sponsored project, we haveproposed a system which aggregates peoples expressions over awidening network of public electronic displays in a massive Dutchhousing development. Reflecting ideas from contemporary arts aswell as from research on media spaces, this is an example of aconceptual design intended to produce meaningful effects on a localculture. In this paper, we describe the methods and ideas that ledto this proposal, as an example of research on technologies fromthe traditions of artist-designers.
