With HomeCare, we’ll get you out of the cold fast.”
The interactive art installation features mechanical flowers that open when triggered by the viewers’ body movements. Would make a lovely billboard…

90,000 litres of copper sulphate solution were applied to part of a disused housing estate in London’s Elephant & Castle area. Three weeks later billions of blue crystals covered the walls. A great use of art within urban regeneration.
Much like our Cadbury’s UK campaign from 2009 but with a multi-touch interface and the facility for live competitions against bus shelters in other parts of San Francisco. Leaderboards show how different areas of town are faring. Clearchannel sites were used with technology by Obscura.
