Public space is the interface for exchanges in cities, and today more than ever the site of rapid change.

PublicBit is a mobile, open hardware unit developed for deployment in public spaces with sensing capabilities that are networked for realtime transmission of city specific data. The data is synthesized to develop spatial proposals for linking physical and virtual public spaces, both in and between cities. An online platform simultaneously aggregates and broadcasts the data, providing a global platform for exchange. PublicBits form an adaptive infrastructure in cities, emerging, networking, and responding in unprecedented ways through citizen engagement.
