Central Working - Colonies
Colonies is a large interactive chandelier designed to stimulate and engage the guests of the Bradfield Centre, the Central Working co-working space in Cambridge, UK.
It consists of a network of lines of light that are activated by a web based user interface that can be reached by anyone connecting to the public WiFi network.
The lighting installation also exposes a simple API that the tech startups hosted in the office can use to link to the many datasets generated as part of their work.
The installation is monitored remotely using a “heartbeat” mechanism that automatically sends alarms when a connectivity problem is reported.
