Malton Greenway & the City of Mississauga

Team: Reza Nik, Connor Stevens

Mentees: Jada Wallace, Zaynab 

The Mobilizer 5.0 is a prop to facilitate conversations within a
community. In this context, at the Malton Greenway, it will be
used to broadly discuss climate change and the importance of
neighbourhood green spaces through various inputs and outputs.
As a multi-faceted perfromance piece, it will occupy the site by
being pushed through the trail and the mall while engaging with
the local community. The formal language of the structure is
informed by its surroundings - in particular the infrastructure found at the back of the mall’s loading dock - the mobilizer 5.0 desires to be useful with all its gadgets, to be seen and heard.
It will listen and react as the local passerbys interact with it, it will
acknowledge their presence through their motion and voices. The
more engagement it receives, the more it disrupts its biases and
internal thoughts.
