In the two cities Stuttgart and Cologne, identical platforms are installed in public spaces. If someone steps onto a platform, their weight causes the part of the platform they are standing on to descend gently. At the same time an impulse is triggered and transmitted via a data transfer. Line to the platform in the other city, and the corresponding part of the counterpart platform is lowered by means of a hydraulic piston. Municipal Scales is a temporary intervention in public space that plays with the phenomenon of collective experience. Space is in a certain sense physically expanded beyond local experiences – with their own weight my virtual counterpart makes me rise.
