ABSTRACT
Public displays are becoming a ubiquitous resource in the urban environments due to significant price drops of large LCD panels. However, most public displays are still displaying simple advertisements in the form of slide shows or movie clips, instead of offering locally customized content that resonates with passers-by. So far, creating such customized content has been expensive. As a possible solution we present the concept and architecture for autopoiesic content, i.e., self-generative content that is automatically created by matching local context information with regular scheduled information into content that is highly localized. In this paper we report on the design, operation, and user experience of FunSquare -- an application that uses autopoiesic content to present localized "fun facts" in order to strengthen the feeling of community.
