Brooklyn Bridge: Historical Travels- 2001
Project proposal is for an interactive video set on the Brooklyn Bridge for live data detects transportation traffic and presentation that reflects the city’s natural traffic flow for large scale video projection. The project is able project the daily usage of the bridge with the construction in the video so that it may able to project data. The footage of the video is able to show the difference during constructions and the impact from both end of the bridge. The video playback could be triggered from cars motion sensors as they pass over in both directions. The installation is placed outdoor on the Manhattan and Brooklyn faces of the stone support tower and the motion sensor would be place inbound and outbound roadways of the bridge to enable detection of the traffic flow. The sensor can be trigger when the car by pass it and will play a specific amount of frames and if there is no cars, the video will remain motionless.
