Turn a crank. Light up your city. Participate in your own environment, in a surprising and poetic way.

glow positioning system is a 1000-foot-long interactive light installation, which transforms an entire city chowk into a visual instrument. Lights can be "played" across the architecture, on the trees and across the roads, by literally anyone on the street by just turning a hand-crank. A giant panorama is unfolded-- by you. The individual enters into a simple yet powerful interaction with their city. This is a visual relationship, but also a relationship about power, and touch, and play.

This work draws on the tradition of the urban panorama in painting and photography, a trajectory that extends into contemporary video games and "virtual reality".
