As part of an individual Masters project, The People Palette was designed as a machine that responds via live blue tooth beacon tracking to the dance floor of queer night-life spaces, reacting to, and driving the crowd to mingle with each other. The aim of the project is to aid in the comfort of all social groups in night-life spaces, as those with the least social capital, often find these spaces the most uncomfortable. The technology operates through the ticket buying system, pushing users to use push enabled apps to have their data forwarded onto the machine’s data processing in real time. Through analysing real primary experiences from how spaces are used and group’s occupy space, the spatialising of human movement leads to a digitisation of this natural process. The machine lights correspond with the demographic groups of the dance floor, showing the predominant group’s colour in that zone. Each panel itself then flashes at a rate corresponding to the rate of ‘mixing’ in that 1/6th area of the floor space. This creates a visual cue for movement, where in basic principle, faster=more mixing.
