StarPupas

I invite you to discover the stars with an APP

Despite increasing physical proximity between our bodies, there is also a growing, intangible distance between our hearts and minds, much like the starry skies in our cities that are fading before our eyes.

Our mobiles are the most influencing factor in creating this sense of alienation. Star Pupas invites you to discover the stars with an app. The app will identify and light up a star, and allow you to name it so that the star becomes an individual existence in the database. The more stars that are lit up and shared in the bigger community, the more light and less darkness there will be. We pull ourselves back to each other with the very device that has set us apart. We will find ourselves where we have been lost.

Participation Method

After downloading the app, you are invited to scan the night sky with your mobile. You will be able to see the stars in the sky.The app will enable you to select a star, name it, and add a message if you desire.

Once a star has been selected, the mobile will flash and your message will be illuminated and sharing with people.
