We+Screen

Sumona Chakravarty (MDesS) schakrav@gsd.harvard.edu Hailong Wu (M.Arch 2) hwu1@gsd.harvard.edu WeScreen is a community platform for the residents of a locality to express their voice and create a collective identity for their neighborhood. The platform uses smartphones, a website and an urban screen to localize a virtual social network in the context of a community- creating a digital exchange that is rooted in a material reality. The virtual social network is augmented by people-to-people interactions that happen around the community WeScreen, and the everyday relationships between neighbors are extended into the virtual realm. An online social network usually focuses on individual identities and reputations. The WeScreen expands the idea of this network by adding a collective dimension, allowing individuals to build their community’s identity and reputation by actively contributing information to their local WeScreen. Residents use the WeScreen app on their phones to develop individual personas that can be published, combined and collated at their community WeScreen to create a persona for the entire community. The network of WeScreens across neighborhoods creates a public realm where people can express their individual voices, and shape their community by actively participating in building a collective identity.
