Yellow Chair Stories was a live service design intervention, where Anab opened her personal Wifi to her neighbours and passersby. This approach illustrated how wireless technologies could become interfaces to recreate transient spaces for conversations at the threshold of the public and the private, the physical and the electronic.
The project won a UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005, and was presented at Ubicomp 2005, ISEA 2006, DesignEngaged 2005 and various other conferences. It has also been successfully replicated in different parts of the world. - from SuperfluxAn interesting project looking at how get to know your 'WiFi neighbours' in real life and encouraging interaction with people who perhaps pass your house everyday or live in your area. I like how she created a shared folder on the network so that this became an online space to share, leave or receive information from the other people who had sat in the yellow chair or who had used the open WiFi network.
