Three Corners of the City is a real-time interactive data visualisation displayed on a large-scale media wall at the award-winning Bunjil Place in Melbourne, Australia that connects three local communities across place and across time. Live data touchpoints record people walking in each community in an interconnecting flow of everyday life, breathing life and form into dynamically evolving motion graphics. The project engages communities with smart city data visualising it in aesthetically pleasing and tangible ways. The graphic style invites viewers to immerse themselves in the work and prompts them to see the data in a new way – in their own way. The density, colour and motion of particles in each cluster are controlled by the real-time data to visually communicate the amount of movement in each location. Postcards were also designed for community members to engage further with the work in the form of citizen activations.
