Cityness refers to a city as a thing in the making. A city is not just a functional space with buildings, people, and services, but a dynamic, responsive, ever-changing environment that constantly senses the actions of its inhabitants and controls their ways of interacting with the city. This art installation aims to capture and explore this process to question our subjectivity and agency within the city. By building a preliminary cybernetic system, the installation invites the audience to be part of its inhabitants and a factor being passively incorporated into the city's data. The system's appearance is composed of customized printed circuit boards, and the mist on the outermost wall represents the city's response to the co-relationship between the environment and the inhabitants.
