Cities are always in motion, buzzing with activity on every corner. Is it possible to evaluate this chaos? Can information be extracted from it? Ticky is a device that can measure the activity in its direct vincinity.
We focused not on visible light or audible sounds, but instead are capturing the imperceptible vibrations of whichever surface Ticky is attached to. This data can be transmitted to a smartphone via bluetooth and is visualized in an app.

Why? We imagined Ticky as a kind of geocache, that can be found by looking at the measured activity and using it to figure out the location. It proved to be fun to explore which places, at which times, showed patterns of motion.
