Did you know that nights are 4000 times brighter than they would be naturally?
The Look Up initiative offers a solution to light pollution.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make the starry sky visible again. In cooperation with the city council and local energy providers, we have developed a campagin and app that allows citizens to vote on the light in their surroundings. With the data collected, new lighting conditions will be installed, which not only leads to more conscious use of light but takes a step towards a more natural world.
Our Plan
Through a multimedia campaign, citizens are informed about the problem of light pollution and have initial points of contact with Look Up. In the second step and with the help of the Look Up app, citizens have the chance to vote on the brightness of public lighting in their area for a certain period of time. The data collected creates a brightness map and statistics based on the needs of citizens. After the data collection and evaluation phase, Look Up is corporating with local energy providers and the city hall on a plan to implement the new lighting conditions.
The adapted lighting and the conscious use of light means that the starry sky is made visible.
This project was created as a part of the Creative Conscience Award 2023
in the category Service Design and Natural World.
