ABOUT DESIGNER
Nick name: catskillwoodgas


I guess I'm just a young man who believes that changing the world is worth attempting. Most people tell you that's just a symptom of youth, but I've been taught by my friends -- dreamers, eccentrics, and successful adults in their own rights -- that you don't necessarily have to grow out of it if you don't want to. We don't all have to ware ponchos and live in huts, but we should all do something creative, innovative, and effective in the interest of protecting and restoring our planet. After all, it's the only one we've got!

Proposition; issue/s in his/ her concern or what inform the artist's works.

We know in crowded place like subway piano stairs is annoying for this solution and replacement we should use light stairs as alternative because  it’s so easy to motivate people to walk and also its Brilliant idea and a great way to promote healthy lifestyle Few people actually follow that advice. Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator or elevator by making it fun to do? Something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behavior for healthier. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.

Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator by making it fun to do

Analysis of the interactivity in the work (function/s).

is connect the wire with the light and sensor in that way each wire have own function and So many wire used to connect the wires and sensor. each stairs have the different sensor and when someone walking on the stairs the light will be on

A personal comment

I think piano stairs would be annoying during rush hour, but light stairs can be good replacement for that  and who needs more tension from unpleasant noise during a stressful travel? Light stair don’t have the noise and just react with people movement  Although I am sure it would work the first few times people saw the light stairs and after a couple of days people are not get bored. Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better This is amazing, incorporating art into our daily lives should be a priority now. Especially during hard time that you engage with your daily ,The idea is nice
