"From Dusk Till Dawn" 12.08. Berlin

The installation takes place in Berlin at the Kiosk “Akuna Matata” (subway station Eberswalder Strasse) in the night of August 12, 2006.

"From Dusk Till Dawn" starts at sundown (9:00 pm) continuing through the night till early morning.

We love to invite you to this occasion. Please don’t forget your Mobile!“From Dusk Till Dawn” is a visual, interactive installation of mobile communication technologies in urban space.

Mobile communication networks have become a prominent part in our daily lives stretching all around the globe, linking people from all continents and accompanying us in every move we make by laying their complex framework over our cities like virtual worlds.

But how do people react to ubiquitous communication? How is it used and how is interaction accomplished? What consequences arise concerning the environment we live in?

Today, every mobile user alters through mobile communication or data exchange actively but invisibly his surrounding space and his spatial relations.

“From Dusk Till Dawn” faces this issue: Mobile communication devices are tracked by a system and visualized on a public screen. The installation makes mobile communication visible and creates awareness for the openness, transparency and possible exploitation of users employing these technologies.
