Design Inspiration
New York Time Article( http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/29/world/asia/in-indian-slum-misery-work-politics-and-hope.html):
New York Times did an article about Dharavi, where they outlined this dual condition of Dharavi. After reading this article, I realised that I did not knew about the entrepreneurial aspect of Dharavi and wanted my proposed installation to highlight this duality.
Invisible Protests
Diego Zaks is an artist, working at the front lines of art and technology to address Venezuela's pressing social issues. In his project Invisible Protests, he took the Venezuelan protests to the streets. Using an Arduino microcontroller to reproduce the images gathered on SOS. Venezuela "pixel by pixel and line by line, using a string of LEDs," which were then captured by a digital camera, Zaks transported and translated the contemporary Venezuelan fervor to NYC, resulting in a series of augmented-reality images that impress upon viewers the gravity of the situation at hand.
