DESCRIPTION
Chairsharing is a public service that offers people the free use of movable chairs that provide Internet connection. They are equipped with a wheel and, since they weigh very little, they can easily be moved to any point in the neighbourhood. The metal structure, resilient and totally recyclable, supports two horizontal surfaces set at different heights. This means they can be used in different ways: as a seat with a backrest, as a chair with a working surface, or as a high stool.
Each chair is equipped with a WiFi antenna offering free access to Internet. A geographic positioning system based on triangulation prevents mislaying of chairs and enables users to locate them on a map of Modena that can be consulted on the Chairsharing website. Since the goal is to stimulate cultural and commercial activity in the neighbourhood, users need to have a customer loyalty card, which offers them certain advantages with different facilities and businesses. Besides showing the map and managing the customer loyalty card system, the Chairsharing website puts the user into contact with other systems in the city that are concerned with sustainable mobility and responsible consumption such as public bicycles, car pooling, car sharing, CouchSurfing (a hospitality exchange network) and community sustained agriculture (CSA).Source: http://www.publicspace.org/en/works/f264-chairsharing
panmesa: everyone brings something to the table
"The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for." - Hopi Elders
