Interaction where?  Focuses on small interventions that can change the static spatial configurations of the uncanny spaces into more dynamic environments. Participants of the workshop are expected to observe and examine the everyday practices under the Besiktas bridge and to design a user-interactive platform which at the end provides new ways for social engagement.

The brief will ask participants to identify potential moments/situations etc. to turn it to responsive environments through physical computing by using Arduino Microcontroller and different sensors. With that in mind, our focus is to improve the moment; to get a person interested in crossing this specific bridge, to make the individual excited about the possibility of getting in interaction with other individuals.
