Cell phone disco by architect Ursula Laveren in Dublin is an interactive installation that translates the radio waves of an active cell phone into a different kind of wave-- those in the field of visible light. If the individual is in proximity of the installation while receiving a phone call or a text message, thousands of lights are activated to mimic the users activity. Cell phone disco is a creative way of rewarding people for interacting with each other while humanizing technology. I love the potential of this type of project and creative implementation of technology in concert with an object we all use everyday.
