Conscious Actions is a series of interactive, architectural, playground-inspired devices that invites users to enjoy the carefree fun of childhood again while also being reminded of the direct impact that every action has on our environment and communities. Each device is activated through physical, natural forces. When users generate energy through these forces, they are rewarded with delightful effects, like reactive shadows, transformative surfaces, and kinetic motion. Installed throughout the district, these curious, joyful devices provide a number of inspirational experiences. In addition, gt2P plans programming to engage with local community organizations dedicated to nurturing and supporting tomorrow's leaders today.
