Breaking out of the urban fog Outer mirrors

In crowds, there is a diffusion of responsibility and individual autonomy, Social rules say not to look at one another Which can lead to feeling alone in a crowd, and sometimes, to tragedy

We know that mirrors help break the anonymity. When waiting to cross street, for example, the installation will show the reflection of the person and one individual neighbor (the rest of the crowd blurred) A video camera and computer vision techniques will provide real-time information of who is around you

Providing the information: who you are right now, who you are with right now. No longer obvious, accessible information. Occasional, momentary jarring of the individual-ness of self and individuals around you
