The mobile phone has rapidly become a very essential tool, that we carry with us all the time, everywhere we go. It has become the focus of our communication and information in a hyper-connected world, which tolerates less and less that we disconnect or just don't have immediate access to information.
Based on this conclusion the City of Geneva decided to take the challenge to visualize these digital traces created by our mobile phones. The objective of this installation is to make this data visible and allow you to explore these streams of connected people around the city, in their everyday life.
How does the collective energy of people in Geneva raise from dawn to high noon? This map sets the liveliness at 06:00 o'clock in the morning side by side to the one at 12:00 o'clock midday. People's activity and direction is embodied in the density of lines shown on the map.
