These light plugins can be controlled by the graphical department at DI who can tweak and modify parameters like speed, colors, and direction creating thousands of different expressions &#8211; still within the limits of each plugin. The team behind the project has worked on developing a design manual for how the dynamic content of the fa\u00e7ade can change during day, night, seasons and special occasions.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\nAs part of the media fa\u00e7ade Kollision created the interactive plugin, &#8216;Urban Canvas&#8217; that allows by-passers to interact with the fa\u00e7ade by using their smartphones. By entering a mobile website, users can paint on the fa\u00e7ade by swiping their finger across the touch screen of their smart phone, instantly painting with light on building. Multiple users can use the system simultaneously; creating a busy and playful collaborative artwork that keeps on changing. The \u2018Urban Canvas\u2019 was developed in dialogue with DI and implemented for the first time at \u2018Culture Night 2013\u2019 in Copenhagen.\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.mediaarchitecture.org\/#dia_lights_urban_canvas\">Credits<\/a>\r\n<br\/><br\/>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/11\/dia_lights_urban_canvas_02-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9309\" \/>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediaarchitecture.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/11\/dia_lights_urban_canvas_03-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9315\" \/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The project Dia lights \/ Urban canvas won a Media Architecture Award in the category Money architecture.
