Metrome
Metrome is a datadriven visual system that aims to create a “human” identity for the city of Rome. The context in which the project operates is the underground that welcomes citizens every day. Metrome places people at the center of the system through the motor rhythm generated within the stations which becomes the temporary emotional state of the city. It uses smart bracelets to validate tickets and monitor the heartbeat of travelers. The emotional states generate visual identity and influence the music and map services provided by the app.
Metrome is based on the involvement of citizens who contribute to the functioning of the service that they use themselves.
