Our newfound need to track public movements creating an emerging breed of smart public infrastructure. Connected through the internet of things, it creates a shift in design prerogatives, urban design and architecture towards creating a system which is interconnected, reactive and most importantly reliant upon the collection of individual private data in the name of public welfare.

The project explores the ramifications of this new connectedness on the individual creating the data which the system itself relies upon. Contained within the new dilapidated State Library of Victoria, now data centre, the project questions power structures and autonomy of individuals through various takes on Classicism.
