condensed experience
Points are common places a priori devoid of any attributes, such as form, color or even name. However, as they are equipped with a sophisticated technological apparatus and elaborate surveillance system, they generate identity the very moment they are erected. They reflect their surrounding and depend on it. Most importantly, points combine real public space with a virtual one. Everybody is encouraged to join the game. Being interconnected they provide communication with all the other points, forming a coherent social sphere. They accommodate highly adaptable program that is always changing according to the expressed requirements of the communities. As they are physically integrated into existing public amenities, they outline a community character. These amalgamations provide ever changing experiences. Points become a new iconography in the cityscape, acting like amplifiers. Their identity becomes prevalent, shaping an image of the city via network. Suddenly everything makes sense.
