INTERVENTIONS
We design social interventions that engage populations in imagining and designing new solutions to social problems.

The People’s Late Night
We know that late-night talk shows organize our attention to celebrities. People’s Late Night is inspired by artist Claudio Padro's work in Brazil where he pulled furniture onto the street and interviewed people from all walks of life. We explore the question: what happens when we create a talkshow for everyone else?
Light up the Bridge
We created a Productive Fiction. Over two evenings in the fall of 2014, our installation of lights and an illuminated red carpet transformed the bridge into a bright space.
inPUBLIC Festival 2019
inPUBLIC is ds4si’s first festival of public-making—the collective creation and activation of public spaces for interaction and belonging. We are partnering with artists and activists to create the types of public spaces and atmospheres that we want to fight for.
inPUBLIC Festival 2021
inPUBLIC 2021 was a 3-day celebration, involving 60 artists in a radical act of tending to each other, as we transformed the Downtown Crossing Steps into an atmosphere of reflection and holding space to honor BIPOC artists and communities.
