What is it?

Community Poll is an installation that serves to visualize the opinions of Google employees and the people of East Liberty on trending controversial topics. Each topic's answers will be displayed onto the bridge in the format of a 2-color vertical poll, with every poll representing a topic, and every color within an answer. These polls are created with tubes filled with lights that change according to live updates of people's answers. As people choose their answers, the percentage of colors displayed will shift according to the percentage of people who replied with that answer. The goal of this installation is to initiate a dialogue and bring a greater sense of community between the people of East Liberty and Google employees. The anonymity aspect of this installation reminds both groups that allies, even if only allies on small topics, can be found in each other's communities.
